      It is clear that a user who is aware of the implications would not activate geolocation, the problem is another, how many users who are aware of this problem will review the permissions of their mobile apps? Many of them, just like the mobile itself, have geolocation activated by default and some OS on the PC as well. It is the user who has to deactivate this one by one, it is not a question of activating it, because it already is.

        I see your point, it makes sense. I reviewed my settings on mobile and I had location services disabled for browsers I’m using, but I think I did adjust settings a while ago after installing the app. Most people would not bother to check this settings.
