Google to issue reports on users' location data to help governments enforce social distancing. Google said Friday it will begin publishing reports created from Google Maps users’ whereabouts to help governments make policy decisions regarding social distancing measures enacted to fight coronavirus

I know very little about Google and most other similar apps, but recently I hit a 'wrong button' on my cell-phone and 'discovered' every retail outlet, bar, nightclub, casino I had visited within the past 6 months.

I could care less about someone or something keeping track of my daily 'where-a-abouts' ... but what's the reason for doing so?

PS and somewhat related .....  I had an appointment once with a VA psychiatrist due to a frequent and re-ocurring dream (nightmare?) of being over-run in a combat situation without a weapon and other necessary ingredients ..... and the psychiatrist told me that whatever I would be saying would be held in strictest confidence.

My immediate response, "Hell! I could give a shit less ... if you broadcast whatever I say to you ... on national TV!!"

So whenever I see one of those cameras set up in public places ... which many kind folks are claiming to be an intrusion of their privacy .... I just give that camera a smile ... and a hearty 'thumbs up".

I have been accused of being crazy by thinking this way, so I just might be seeing that same psychiatrist once again .... but all concerned at the VA claim I'm not real crazy   .... but just a bit on the dumb side in some matters of importance.

And that dumb side of me is the big reason one of the Hollywood guys is working on a screen-play regarding my dumbness while under fire.

Sounds crazy, HUH!?

Bing shits all over Google. Google has started to present a propaganda slant, filtering out certain sites and links. Bing does not. And Google used to have a great image search feature where you could search by pixel size etc. They took that all away. But Bing kept it. I am using Bing more and more and really liking it.

Google is annoying. It self loads with various browsers and pops up when you don't want or need it. Just changed this browser's search engine to bing. Sure enough, it had defaulted to Google.

I use DDG with TOR for going to “dark web.” One place sells ALL Apple products at 60% off no tax and shipping in. Bing is on my iPhone but they don’t have a version which supports iPad ( iPhone version works on iPad but won’t allow horizontal rotation.)

Most cell phones use the Android OS, which being a Google product has many of the google features built-in. This includes the location tracking. I believe this can be defeated by doing nothing more than just turning your phone off. Since this social distancing is making many of us more introverted (and misanthropic as well), turning the phone off becomes easier to do over time.

In theory turning off location permission for all apps should mean they can't track you.

Google and other devices tracking your every moment, of course - it is the norm.

BUT using that data is where it violates various rules.

When we start going down the slippery slope of trying to block our constitution, then it is time for worry.


Like, when a liberal Nevada Governor decides to do what he wants to do, and block all nutrition stores from opening (even though the Department of Homeland Security says there are essential stores providing nutrition, health and basics), because he feels like being a dick, and would rather eat at a McDonald or keep that liquor store open than a nutrition store, we have to start worrying.     Or when the police stop your car because the license plate is from New York, or try to search your house because they see a license plate on your street, then we have to worry.

In this time of Coronavirus, the best and worst will come out - these people in government should not be idiots, and abide by basic rules.
