@gmh@mastodon.social Location sharing is stuck ON until you can prove you're over 18? That's a completely ass-backward way to go about things; with friends like Apple, who needs stalkerware?

@linuxandyarn@hachyderm.io To be fair to Apple; it’s a reasonable default if you assume that the user is a child and that their parent or guardian will want to be able to locate them if needed. Applied to an adult, that has some potentially problematic consequences. That said, the Privacy & Security settings also have enable/disable location settings on a per-app basis, and it’s possible for them to say different things at the same time, so I’m not 100% sure if it’s truly locked on.
