I'm not sure how any of these are not already searchable / discoverable by someone abusing the cellular system that already knows phone locations all the time?
That's utterly broken logic. If you are doing well with a missing finger on your right hand, certainly it won't bother you if we chop the same finger of your left hand ?
Agreed. A lot of the privacy hullaballoo I read on HN feels like tin-foil-hattery. Who cares what kind of app you have tracking your GPS on your phone, when every surveillance camera in London knows exactly where you have been?
If you want real privacy, it has to come from getting the right privacy aware, privacy understanding, people in power. Anything short of that wont make a whit of difference.
