What do you mean, isn't this the first article on this topic?

> So a dev can listen to conversations because they write software to transcribe voice to text?

That has nothing to do with this article. This article is about exact GPS/location coordinates, has nothing to do with "a dev can listen to conversations".

> Sigghhhhh....

I think you have misread the article, this is new information about a new topic. There's nothing repetitive about this news item and there's no need to sigh so heavily about people who care about privacy and the honesty of corporate statements.
