Aspiring transhumanist, probable determinist, aphantasic glorified he/him monkey. The world is not okay.

So what do we make of all this?
The developer discloses on the app store that the precise location data collection is optional.
Is this misleading?

What we have discovered in this Twitter thread is that if you try to pair one of their devices via Bluetooth scanning, the app opportunistically siphons up your GPS co-ordinates and send them over the Internet to a remote server.

The only way to avoid this would be to manually pair the device over Wifi and avoid the Bluetooth pairing option.

Have the 500k+ people who have download Grid Connect from the Google Play store been mislead?

What do you think?
