      Friendly reminder that Bluetooth has a larger network stack than Wi-Fi. Much more code, much larger available attack base. There have been many numerous Bluetooth vulnerabilities that allow remote code execution or theft of files.

      This is truly becoming a surveillance state, in no way that can be debated. That want to be able to access everyone's innermost thoughts (texts, notes, recordings, calendars, contacts, photos, you get it) without any chance of someone being able to protect against it.

      Reminder that Google was the 2nd or 3rd company to commit to NSA's PRISM.

    Didn't iPhone been doing it for years so you can still track your lost phone even if it's turned off?

    But this is Android, I'm sure there'll be work around if you don't want it. Personally I think it could be helpful.

      You turn it off. It says so in the link.

      User Controls: Android users always have full control over which of their devices participate in the Find My Device network and how those devices participate. Users can either stick with the default and contribute to aggregated location reporting, opt into contributing non-aggregated locations, or turn the network off altogether.
