I would imagine this requires location access enabled for the app?
Credit to Apple for trying to rein in location access in apps. However, if location access is only enabled while using the app, it would then obviously get shared when positing and reading Twitter. That means even if you look at Twitter or Instagram once a day, then that builds a pretty good location history.
The real question is why would Twitter include GPS data in firehouse access? Seems like a serious privacy violation and obvious one at that. The President and other officials around the world look at Twitter. Seems like serious negligence on Twitter’s part.
We cannot count on people being paranoid about their location data like tech savvy people are. Maybe it’s time to limit location access to just Maps and any other app must justify location access, and also be verified not to share that data.
