>> "You are calling 911. The purpose of the call is specifically to ask the government to send someone to your location."
Correct. I'm not asking the private company "RapidSOS" to relay my location to the government. The endless string of leaks makes me distrust companies with data. Every party I depend on having good security is a new party that might screw up, or intentionally misuse the data.
The involuntary risk surface area is already large enough.
This thread started because someone was concerned that OMG, law enforcement might actually get the location info that you're trying to send them.
If your concern is specifically about the 3rd party getting the data because they're acting as intermediary, I can understand that. I don't agree, but understand.
