@titociuro@mstdn.social No, not at all. This might stop a website from detecting were you are from. It will have no effect on an app that has permission to us location information. In fact a VPN does not do half of what marketers have lead you to believe. You have to understand what a VPN really is and what it is meant for to understand why it is useless in the way it is being used. It might help you bypass a Games or Netflix regional locks, though other than that it does not provide the security you are lead to believe it does. The best way to protect yourself is to turn off location services for apps that do not really need it, like navigation and weather.
