>“I don’t really care who sees where I am, and I want somebody, at least one person, to know where I am at any given time,” she said.

> “I don’t find people having my location to be invasive at all. I think that’s just a natural part of life,” said Rhiannon Cogley, 19. “I would tell people where I am anyways. That just saves a text, you know?”

>“I do have people I don’t necessarily know super well on Snap Map,” Gabi Kong, a 20-year-old from Piedmont, sheepishly admitted to me. Despite keeping the function activated on Snapchat, Kong, who attends Boston University, primarily uses Find My to keep track of the friends and family she shares location with — 29 in total.

>“In college, my freshman year, my friend group shared their locations with each other,” Kong said. “And then my friend would be like, ‘Oh my God, did you see so and so are hanging out together?’”

All these "mr average" interviews are fake as fuck.
They only publish answers that further their narratives, they might as well be making all of them up.
It's insane that in 1440+585 people are still falling for it.

There are normie apps and then there are underground platforms where you do everything possible to hide your identity. You can't tell me millenials don't broadcast their entire lives on Facebook. Do you also use a voice filter on the phone?
Normie apps are a tool for the real world (the place you touch grass in), you wouldn't get it.

99% of people have their phone on them at all time anyways, meaning whatever giant corporation that wants their location already has it to a disgusting accuracy.
The snap map literally does nothing other than reveal your position to the few people on the planet you actually may want to give your position to.
Or are you seriously naive/dumb enough to believe that SnapChat's optional map feature is the only thing on your phone constantly logging where you're at?

Friends, family, etc, when they are at distance from each other with permission from each other. All cases that should REQUIRE consent of the person being "surveilled". Only in case of someone in a dangerous situation, lost somewhere, etc, the localization could be activated if its not possible to detected the object by other means.

>Gen Z has fully embraced the botnet
Thats bullshit, coming either from ill-intentioned people, ignorant people or npcs living in blue areas.
Ask the npcs if they also want ICE to know where every single illegal immigrant is, and ALL of them will answer no.
Ask the ignorant people about enemies, thieves, murderers, psychopaths, etc, being able to find them wherever they are(much easier than they should under normal circumstances, as if the app worked like a "criminal shop" helping the criminal find the "best price"), and see their reaction.

>>105930320
Also bullshit! This is a push to open people for the possibility to normalize and legalize other (currently illegal)use cases of the surveillance data. They want to shift the Overton window not for the hidden surveillance but for the open surveillance and use cases of the data.

>I watched in horror from my dorm room as three gray circles, labeled with the initials of my closest friends, slowly converged at the campus dining hall on the map displayed on my phone. It was my sophomore year of college, and I still remember tearfully calling my mom, whimpering that it was the second time this week my roommate had gone to the dining hall to eat dinner with my two other best friends without me.

Was never popular. It was a failed trend.
This trend is also failing because snapchat is losing popularity not gaining it.
The conditioning for privacy invasion is waning in gen z. Zoomers are less prone to use features and socmed in general.

I used to go on the snap map site and click on random videos uploaded in my area. It was ALWAYS videos of black people listening to really loud unintelligible music while flashing thousands of dollars and pounds of weed. I always thought if you were a person who gave zero fucks you could rob all these retards so easily since they make their locations known at all times.
