Interesting that I never knew the “Find My” network has all my devices participating in finding other people’s devices, but I’m not surprised. Another reason I leave Bluetooth off by default.
Similar to the hub-bub raised of Alexa devices "sharing" internet connectivity.
1. No informed consent that your device can do this
2. No positive consent to use it
3. No positive consent to allow others to use it on your behalf
4. Who controls the spy network?
5. They are using your bandwidth and device (similar to theft of resources, albeit trivial amounts)Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the updates, but I'd also like to maximize the battery life.
I buy that there are more expensive things you can do with your phone, but even if turning off Bluetooth is only giving you back a small percentage of your total battery usage, that might genuinely be noticeable on an older device with an older battery.
Think of all the interesting things you could do with a worldwide bluetooth mesh network, and they choose to use it for surveillance. Lol.
