So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.
Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"
Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.
From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."
It's enshitification in action.

"I'm going to excuse all of these companies being shitty because you should just not use them. Don't bother advocating for better behavior, your opinion means nothing and you should just not use it."
I'm reviving cool story, bro for this one.
Cool story, bro.
@tenet @ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic it's capitalism.
If you expect companies to be nice, you are doing something wrong.

"Accept that things are shitty. Do not attempt to improve them. Suck capitalist dick and drink the gravy. You are a product. Comply."
Fuck right off with that bullshit. If you can't be bothered to lift a fucking finger to unfuck this world, why are you even speaking in public?
@tenet @ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic change the system, change the incentive structures, do what you want, but sorting companies in good and evil is just a distraction
@mxk @ajsadauskas @technology @pluralistic Do you even have a fucking clue what the subject was?
Eh... don't bother replying.
