    There's no reason not to be able to opt out of stuff like this, and here's why:https://twitter.com/ByRosenberg/status/933058880828948480 …

        First, the number of people who are directly harmed by this (e.g. those whose threat model approaches the Mossad model) are relatively small.

        Second, the number of people who care enough to do so even when presented with full knowledge of what it is--or, to put it another way, those who would meet informed consent--is also relatively small compared to population use.

        Therefore, the actual legitimate uses for these data (e.g. quality tracking and signal reliability mapping) are unlikely to be significantly derailed by those people opting out.

        This is so often the case when it comes to the surveillance apparatuses we have on our devices. A statistically significant sample won't opt out even when given full explanation of what is happening and why.

        This is why informed consent models should be adopted by tech companies. Empower the user to make an informed decision as to whether they're willing to surrender their data to improve quality. And then implement data safety and quality controls.

        This isn't even an open question. The ethical ground rules and cost-benefit frameworks for this are well-established and have been for decades.

        There actually is no good reason to allow this and not make it a criminal offense

        Maybe the wording isn't strong enough for the initiated, but you get some fairly strongly worded questions about enabling this when setting up a new android phone. Even if you have said yes previously.
