      The @fingapp is an #android network scanner with network tools including: Wi-Fi scanner, port scanner, DNS lookup, ping and service monitoring. This app has been downloaded more than 10M times. Let me show you how they steal the location of their user without their consentpic.twitter.com/Vzqj2wvbN0

      During the first boot, the app is making a request to http://geoip.fing.io/android.php  With this request, they will retrieve: - city_name_en - country_city - city_geoname - postal_code - country_region - country_name=France - continent_name_en=Europe - latitude - longitude - timezone ...pic.twitter.com/aAuBq4ihbI

      so what? Literally every app connecting own server is able to geotag user by his ip

      The fact that they can do it does not imply that they have to do it; especially if the user is not notified. This is my thought.

      there is nothing sensitive or extraordinary exposed. IP geolocation API is very unprecise and available to anyone

      It's not so unprecise and, furthermore, it can be used, for example, to monitor users most attended places.

      Geolocation by IP is a common thing over Internet. Even http://google.com  did that w/o your permission

      In fact I don't like these "techniques" and when I encounter these type of "evidences" I think that warn the users is the right thing to do. Nevertheless, I accept your point of view.

      They should have warned users anyway. Regardless the purpose for sending their approximate location

      They should and they have to if they want to respect #GDPR
