#7 Apple said that the data is anonymized and aggregated to ease privacy concerns. Not eliminate privacy concerns, just ease them. "We said some buzzwords and did some hand-waving, and now it's all cool bro!" |

#6 And just in case they get found out, somewhere in the user agreement of that very popular free game app is the proper wording for legal protection. |

#5 To compile the data, Apple has used Apple Maps' tools to measure how people use different means of transport that the maps track. Apple said that the data is anonymized and aggregated to ease privacy concerns. In a statement, Apple said: 'Maps does not associate mobility data with a user's Apple ID, and Apple does not keep a history of where a user has been. Using aggregated data collected from Apple Maps, the new website indicates mobility trends for major cities and 63 countries or regions.' Uh huh. |

#1 Americans...walking less? I didn't think that was possible. Sadly, people need (where not under Draconian dicta) to do the opposite and get out and walk....COVID-19 or not. |
