    You do you. Just don't try to suggest there's anything inherently
    dangerous about the Significant Locations feature without verified
    evidence of that claim, then turn around and get upset when someone
    calls you out on it. ; )


    Why must you do this? Did I actually say anyone should do anything? I
    merely provided a news story and shared my own experience. You absolutely must find a way to denigrate people no matter what.

    I've studied these iKooks... they are not anywhere near like normal people. Here's what happened (and which is what always happens on iOS newsgroups).

    1. The OP (badgolferman) posted a link to an interesting on-topic datum
    2. Everyone read the article and digested what the article taught us
    3. Andy Burnelli read the article, learned, and thanked badgolferman
    4. Andy Burnelli also added additional value that was not in the article
    5. The OP added additional on-topic value stating his related settings
    ... then the ikooks got involved... infesting the thread...
    ... why? ... because iKooks hate any fact about Apple products...
    ... why? ... because iKooks have invested their ego in Apple propaganda...
    ... why? ... hehhehheh... because iKooks are iKooks...

    6. *An iKook (Jolly Roger) responds with ancient data where his _only_*
    *purpose is to defend all Apple decisions (good or bad) to the death!*

    7. The thread goes on a death spiral due to the iKook infestation,
    which is the modus operandi for all iKooks on the Apple newsgroups.

    The goal of the iKooks is to deflect, detract, and otherwise deteriorate
    any conversation that has anything to do with Apple not being a deity.

    A. The iKook (Jolly Roger) accused the OP of being ill meaning
    B. The iKook (Jolly Roger) accused posters of value of being stupid

    Notice how these iKooks all operate:
    a. They infest any thread that doesn't bow to the Apple deity
    b. They accuse all posters of ill will if they don't bow to the deity
    c. All because they hate themselves... they hate that their whole
    life people have been telling them they're stupid... except Apple.

    Apple loves the iKooks.
    You can't make those ungodly profits off of intelligent people.

    Apple loves that the iKooks defend everything Apple, to the death.
    The iKooks literally claim Apple profits off of them is proof of the deity.

    Literally, iKooks defend Apple like they defend a deity.

    LOL... As is often the case with uneducated unintelligent trolls like
    Arlen, he skims over articles without having an actual understanding of
    what they are actually about

    Hi Jolly Roger,
    I understand you. I've studied you for many years, as you well know I have.

    Your whole life people have been calling you stupid.
    That's why you hate yourself.

    I get it.
    I really do.

    In a strange pitiful way, I'm sorry for you.
    In self defense, you call everyone else stupid.

    Just like you did above by calling me stupid.
    However, I'm ok that you called me stupid.

    My ego doesn't depend on you.
    More to the point, my ego doesn't depend on anything Apple does.

    Unfortunately for you, your ego is almost completely dependent on Apple.
    Apple is the only entity on this planet that doesn't call you stupid.

    Apple loves you.
    They really do.

    Tour ego is indelibly intertwined into the deity you respect more than all others: Apple, so that's why you lashed out at badgolferman and me.

    You are merely defending the only entity that does not call you stupid.
    Apple.

    *Why You Should Stop This 'Hidden' Location Tracking On Your iPhone*
    <https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2020/10/04/apple-iphone-12-location-tracking-in-ios-14-upgrade/>
    As ESET cyber guru Jake Moore warns, "significant locations is one
    of those features ... I cannot think of a positive or useful reason
    why Apple would include this feature on any of their devices."

    Then Jake has no imagination and/or is clueless about the iPhone.

    Hmmm... could it possibly be _you_ who is clueless?
    Naaaah... can't be you.
    Must be all the experts.

    Hmmm... cyber gurus and security experts are saying the little
    functionality that it provides isn't worth the loss in privacy that can be >> expected to occur now, and in the future (since you will never know).

    Nonsense. The data is end-to-end encrypted and cannot be accessed by
    third parties including Apple. You're fear mongering as usual, and its
    lame. You're also a dumb ass troll.

    Again, I understand why you can't respond to any facts about your deity
    without calling every fact a lie, a troll, fear mongering, etc.

    Your whole life people have been calling you stupid, Jolly Roger.
    Except Apple.

    Apple loves you.
    Therefore you defend Apple to the death, no matter what.

    Otherwise, what would you be after all?

    That were you, Arlen. That is why you think it is interesting. You are a soliloquist. All these threads are fabricated by an acute aschizophrenic personality.
