@piratensachsen @ueckueck @c3d2 @tazgetroete Ich sehe dieses unreflektierte Teilen von (Stanfort-)Daten grundsätzlich kritisch.

Aber Menschen nicht zuzugestehen selbst zu entscheiden, ihren Standort mit ihrem Partner zu teilen, ist doch paternalistisch.

Was mir im Text dagegen fehlt: Wer hat eigentlich alles sonst noch Zugriff auf die Standortdaten? Apple/Google? App-Anbieter? Polizei/Geheimdienste? Was macht das mit unserer Gesellschaft, wenn zunehmend jeder nicht nur grob, sonder per Tracker ganz exakt sofort zu orten ist oder dass zur Erwartungshaltung wird?

After all the coverage this issue got in 2018 (referenced in this article) it’s inconceivable that someone can be working on these sorts of high security positions and not be aware of the risks of using social media. That’s especially so with Strava and the like, whose whole purpose is to track and record locations. Heads will surely roll. https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/oct/29/strava-problem-fitness-app-locate-worlds-most-powerful-people #strava #Tracking #geotracking #security #app

#Mobile #Cellphones #Geotracking #DataProtection #Privacy: “That’s the fundamental question brands need to ask themselves — what kind of relationship do you have with your shoppers, and are you one that has a lot of frequent interactions, or do you have moments, like in travel, when somebody is going to have 50 different questions?” Kodali, from Forrester, said. For a lot of companies, the answer to that question is no.

Kodali said that a lot of businesses have rolled out apps basically on account of FOMO — meaning fear of missing out — because they see everyone else doing it. Goldberg echoed the sentiment, adding that businesses have had plans for an app in place for a while and so have just proceeded without really asking whether it makes sense. “Only the very biggest and best companies can win the mobile app game,” he said. “Often, I see the mid-tier companies and the long-tier companies that shouldn’t be trying to compete with the goliaths ... but they make the mistake of trying to emulate what Amazon and Walmart are doing.”

Yes, the data is valuable to companies, but it’s not as exclusive to apps as it used to be. “You can get just as much data from good mobile webpages as you can from a mobile app,” Goldberg said."

Why are there so many apps now? Do we really need them?

From airlines and hotels to doctors and dentists, it feels like every business has an app they want consumers to use. They think they’re getting data and loyalty out of it, but in a lot of cases, is it any more than an inconvenience?
