@parkern@infosec.exchange Yeah, I assume that's going to be the argument, but in practice I think that's kinda garbage (hence my "wrong-headed" comment above). The design still requires Apple to get a running history of coarse location data. Plus the devices are constantly pinging cell towers. And with some regularity they have to send back fine-grained data to Apple, just to refresh their global WPS database. So, in practice I can't imagine there's any real privacy benefit to the Apple customers, and the tradeoff is a huge privacy compromise for literally everyone else. It's just a very destructive form of privacy narcissism.
