Math by Google

Since past few months Google has a serious problems in aligning their services with notifications they're sending to their users. For example, I am constantly getting a warning emails that I am sharing my location 24 hour per day with some persons. And when, in response to that email, I am checking this feature in my mobile Google Maps, it turns out that my location sharing is turned off.

Which is an obvious truth (at least for me) in my case because I have never ever enabled constant location sharing to anyone and I am only sharing:

  • on even basis -- until I reach given place when navigating in Google Maps,
  • on time basis -- for up to 1 hour ahead

So I am constantly sharing my location only to Google, NSA and USA gov! :>

Where 10.46 GB out of 36 GB is... 30%! :>
