> they estimate they could locate roughly 80 percent of Android-based devices, and about 25 percent of Apple phones.

And that's why I gave my mother my iphone and went back on the wasteland that is Android.

She, as a normal person, doesn't understand all of these and go with the default settings. With apple it means she has 75% chance of being protected, with Google 80% chance of being tracked.

Me, as a nerd, i know about advertising id and I even root my phone to have afwall firewall.

This is why Google is just bad, they always technically allow you to do the right thing but it's buried under a ton of sub menu and convoluted settings. On purpose of course, their goal is to make money.
