I’m quitting this privacy journey

I agree a lot of people may not spend time disabling features but that is hardly Google’s fault. The relevant items are not that hard to find and surely it is the user’s responsibility to seek out and set privacy options ?

If I understand the case correctly, Google didn’t obtain consent to track people’s locations and deceived users into believing their location is not being tracked. Google has culpability in that case.

People should not have to comb through every option and then disable privacy-violating options. It should be the reverse. Until people give consent, each and every option should be set to the most privacy-respecting defaults.
