Google using location data to show if people are social distancing
quote:

Google is releasing reports on people's movements during the coronavirus outbreak to help health officials make critical decisions to combat the pandemic. The company on Friday published an early release of its COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports, which use anonymized location data collected from people's phones to chart movement trends.

They asked you if you want to be tracked real time, you said yes.
Don't like it, change phones or os.

JBE is using this data in his press conferences. Don't think this won't be used to protect us.

I bet Google AI could probably place you within a mile of your actual location even without tapping into your GPS just by collecting other data about you.

The crazy part about all this is that the consensus used to be that it would be the government that would do this, not a corporation who, in turn, hands over our volunteered data to watch us.
