they're not doing it to get you to turn it back on, but your mom who you turned it off for. drives me mad how often I have to redisable privacy nightmares everytime my mom asks me to help her with her phone.
Exactly
Why do you care about it, if she doesn't? Let it backfire on people with no critical thinking skills.
When your family member's privacy is compromised, so is yours.
You obviously don't have any critical thinking skills based off of your comment
The notification asks you if you would like to enable Google's location services. You are an idiot, if you agree to something without understanding it.
how exactly do you think they'll notice that it backfires?
Their nudes or something get leaked and they get bullied. Nobody has a problem with saying that about republicans and yet, everyone here hates me for doing the same thing to a different kind of people.
not everyone has nudes on their phones, not everyone will get to know that they are leaked, and afaik google hasn't even leaked user images ever.
they. won't. notice. it. they wouldn't notice even if they were subjected to personalized pricing.
