@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.

@gmh@mastodon.social Children are a minority of users, and their locations should only be shared with their parents and a designated few others. If No one can set up the location settings without ID verification, then until that's done, the location could be available to ... anyone?
