A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Nah, they've always been selling it as map data. And I still 100% believe the NSA is involved
Hah wouldn't that be something.
Tbh they don't need Niantic to do this. They can collect that info straight from phones. Back doors go brrrr (is that meme still relevant?)
