Maybe I’m missing something here but how is that not a logical conclusion for any service where you have a unique identifier? If it can get your IP it can get a general idea (CGNAT can screw with it a bit), if it’s allowed network access it can get nearby APs, which are pretty well mapped at this point, and if you allow it GPS, well that’s a no brainer.
Yeah… I’m currently really shocked and afraid of the ongoing push of chat control on Europe as well
That will be a major impact on privacy and without reason
And they just try again and again - they don’t even have a pause, they just start again and hope, that it will go through one time
Not sure how to escape it, and if, you are already labelled a terrorist
Like Spanish police looks if you have a pixel with GrapheneOS, because then they think you’re a drug dealer
Or years ago the apartment of a guy in Vienna got raided and all his work IT devices confiscated, just because he ran a remote VPS as Tor exit node
Not sure what we can do
I grew up in the internet and it was a great place.
Now people without any knowledge want to take this all away…

The whole point of a lot of these unique identifiers is that they’re anonymous so they can legally collect more data on you.
The goal is that you can’t reverse the ID to find the person, because then it ceases to be personally identifiable information.

I was more thinking about 3rd parties using Microsoft, Google, Facebook logins for their shit, so can get tracked even better
But, yes, you’re right
