If privacy matters to you, this morning's geolocation story in the NYT is probably the single most important investigation published this year — even though one crucial aspect is missing from ithttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/12/10/business/location-data-privacy-apps.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …
These figures are stunning — and they are even more stunning when taking into account that the geolocation data tallied here are only from apps, not carriers, meaning users could (theoretically) opt out.pic.twitter.com/mrmOLVCf0P
Remember the LocationSmart story from May — it was framed in a misleading way by the Times and got nowhere near the attention it deserves. It wasn't a prison story. It was a first-order privacy story about widespread carrier malpracticehttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/10/technology/cellphone-tracking-law-enforcement.html …
So the today's app-focused story *understates* the geolocation problem by a significant margin. I would love to see an update and deep-dive into geolocation sharing by *carriers,* not just apps, in the New York Times https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/05/why-is-your-location-data-no-longer-private/ …

Note: CO-TRAVELER was revealed *five years ago.* A lot of (non-democratic) intelligence agencies will have invested heavily in geolocation data the meantimehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-tracking-cellphone-locations-worldwide-snowden-documents-show/2013/12/04/5492873a-5cf2-11e3-bc56-c6ca94801fac_story.html?utm_term=.d599c21541d9 …
It also would be extremely helpful to users like me to include a guide to what apps we should turn off.
They put it in a separate article:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/10/technology/prevent-location-data-sharing.html …
what's that 
First hand experience: businesses are receiving confrontational calls from Google’s beacon services if they don’t mindlessly install the beacon mailed to them. I cited privacy concerns for our patrons and they had NO response
