Senator Hawley grills Google on Consumer Privacy

@Elaine Stewart There's nothing to be proud of.

[@kl2469]

@Elaine Stewart because being white has nothing to do with cognition. Nor do the powers at be care for righteousness. If they did, it wouldn't be what you see today. What makes you think the next 5 years will be different when they have been doing the same thing for millieniums?

[@BroTechGaming]

Great job senator Hawley. You let me be proud to be an American. Thank you.

[@globe255]

[@tshavfengvang7831]

Think Hawley's message is clear that big Tech Google just can't go on monopolizing every person with their piece of technology making them super rich and dependent by violating our privacy.

[@E101ification]

Holy shit, never heard of this guy before but he's a savage! I'd want him on my team.

[@briank3557]

He's my senator and I know him to be selectively conservative like most Republicans.

If you’re in American and even beyond, he’s on your team✔️💪🙌 Legend

[@RoughAndWretchedRAW]

BS about what google said. Phone calls and many other services worked just fine before smart phones. They also don't need to collect data 14 times and hour just because you want to use your phone 2 hours later or check a map. It's bs anyway because it's not like these services are running all the time. Why would you have to wait to load a map and not have all points where you have been listed instantly considering they are recording it all and have the data already? I can use google maps just fine on a desktop or laptop with no geo location at all. Lies and more lies!

[@Flippokid]

You think google maps on desk or laptop doesn't use geo location? Google maps isn't the issue though. Every reasonable person can conclude that when you open google maps, your location is used. I'd reasonably assume that 99% of the time anyone opens google maps they don't open it to see what's on the other side of the world, so it's consumer friendly to open with the area around you. This also happens on desktop. Again, that's not the issue. The issue is not using any service that uses geo-location, and phones still send geo location 14 times per hour.

[@christopherguilford5676]

@reality check Oh.. you're actually all over this video crying about the NSA. Reality check for you: Most people don't give a damn if the governmental NSA does this. They keep it for themselves and can use it to protect us from terrorism amongst various other things. Another reality check: Google sells this fucking information. Get off here. Everyone and their mother knows about NSA and majority of normal people are okay with it. Maybe ask why people are ignoring you.

[@jamieingels1190]

Yeah, why can't the phone just use your location as needed when you open a map app? What do they need our location for all the time? Why do they have to lie about it? Just tell the truth Google!

[@jonwilliams5780]

your old phones used SMS to tell where you were just like google is doing now there is no way for the phone to work with out doing it old or new

[@ThreeDaysOfDan]

@Jeremy Edwards it could roughly calculate your location within a 3 mile radius and later down to a quarter-mile radius,. now that know EXACTLY where you are

[@jasonrdunn]

It's fascinating to see how different these question/answer sessions go when the politician asking the questions knows something about technology. It's the complete opposite of the Facebook session we saw recently.

[@rsmith155]

Jason Dunn research! Craziness

[@Yosh-doesnt-understand]

That's why we need to place term limits on these senators. Alot of the elderly senators do not understand technology.

[@ruthietreselan]

A lot of young ones don't know

[@christopherguilford5676]

@reality check Does not make it right for a coporation that is not a government facility to do so as well. What is your argument here?

[@christopherguilford5676]

@reality check how does a non government agency have a right to do this? This argument just made even less sense. The government has a legit security reason for doing it. They even keep it away from corporate and other countries the best they can. You're talking that it's the same thing and it's nowhere even close. This CORPORATION is selling your information. Not only that but refusing to allow you to disallow tracking. The only thing they should know about me is what I post for the public to see. Everything else. My apps? What I view online? That should be cached on my phone not in their databases. The Geo location should only be utilized when I open an app that requires it to function. These are so very very very far from the same conversations

[@22_floW]

The more I see of Senator Hawley, the more I like him. He's a sharp guy and the kind of leader we're in need of as these tech giants keep pushing their underhanded initiatives.

[@LastWord]

I believe he agrees in the freedom of the internet and the right to privacy. He's on the right side. The people who want the government to control the internet are the ones who want to hold the [Pen]

@@ShowerCurtain1 The mindset as a whole.. Like "Progressive". The name itself is pretentious form of slander that suggests all those that are not "Progressive" don't make progress... ... yet they are too dense to realize that often, progress ISN'T a good thing.

[@fdafdafdafadfddfffwe]

i mean, it is complicated though. If the phone doesn't know what towers it has available it is unable to receive a phone call or text message. This isn't a 'google' thing, this is actually legitimately how all cellular devices have worked since invention. That said, Google using that data (which cannot meaningfully be turned off unless you want the phone to become a brick without the ability to call or text while in your pocket) to run ads to you is probably not ok.

[@bohunt8113]

@@fdafdafdafadfddfffwe The phone only needs to be able to ping the tower. It does not need to know where you are standing within a few feet.

[@jellenp]

Bo Hunt, absolutely right. And pinging has nothing to do with data collection unless you deliberately tie the two together.

Finally a Senator who makes me proud to be from Missouri. No I don't agree with everything his Party does, but he is knowledgeable and articulate and he is a much better speaker than Claire was and Blunt is.

[@mickeydee8603]

Blunt what a disappointment..

[@davidk8893]

The fact of the matter is that he is in no way knowledgeable. If he was, he would know the difference between the two types of tracking being discussed here: Location history, and anonymous location data. The former can be turned off quite easily, and is off by default. The latter can also be turned off by turning off the location button on the top of your screen in android. If he were to let the Google employee talk for more than 10 seconds, then maybe he would be able to explain the difference, but he keeps getting cut off. This is a prime example of paranoia due to technological ignorance.

Thank you Senator Hawley... yes, we didn't sign up for this! GoogleShame!!

[@davidk8893]

lol you quite literally did sign up for this. When you clicked "I agree" in the terms of service on your phone, you agreed to anonymous data collection. If you didn't want it, you should have read the terms of service.

[@blubblubber9460]

​@@davidk8893 Yeah bs, like anyone has time for that, never even mind that it's hard to even function in today's society without using google services. That doesn't mean that google can demand what they want from the consumer. On the contrary, they should never have become as powerful as they are in the first place.

[@davidk8893]

@@blubblubber9460 "yeah I don't have time for that" is not a valid excuse to get out of a contract. That would be like refusing to pay a plumber because you didn't feel like reading his hourly charge. By clicking "I read these terms and agree" you made a legal statement that you have read, understand, and agree to all the terms in the agreement. I don't necessarily agree with everything Google does, but you can't complain about having your data collected if you signed a legal agreement allowing them to collect it.

[@blubblubber9460]

​@@davidk8893 Most people know that google monetizes their data, that's not the point. It's about how Google uses the data and in what quantity, and what kind of expectations they raise at the same time. Collecting geodata with location tracking turned off is the chief example. One shouldn't be required to read through the terms of service to find out about that. Reading the terms of service in detail for all kinds of google services takes hours after all, understanding it in full probably takes weeks unless you posess sufficient knowledge in both law and technology. It's just completely absurd to expect people to do all that. And I guarantee you, if they'd actually make a law that only people who understand google terms of service are allowed to use the service, google would vehemently be against that, because that would probably mean they'd lose 99% of their customers. You see exploiting the lack of time and energy, laziness and ignorance of people can work both ways.
