Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

@BucciaBuccia @GrapheneOS True, but it's not available offline, and not through GrapheneOS's proxy. Or maybe I'm wrong about the latter, I actually don't know.
@astroboy @BucciaBuccia We can't scrape Google's data due to how the service is designed and also can't have a similar in-memory cache system. Apple's service is better for our usage. We could add Google's service as an option but it would be entirely server-based with no way to support offline usage either short term via our in-memory cache approach or fully offline via database downloads. Our focus is working towards fully offline network location support so we aren't going to bother with it.
@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @BucciaBuccia@mastodon.social Thank you for clarifying. I strongly agree location data should be offline in the end.
