Google keeps asking about turning on my location timeline, trying to push for me to turn ON Ad tracking.

Are they stupid? If I'm the type of person who went out of his way to turn this crap off ...do they really think saying "Your in Control" is going to encourage me to turn this s*** back on?

Unpopular opinion (here anyway):

Google timeline is really useful! Let's you know where you where when you need to know. Have used it, or told people to use it multiple times when someone needs to know when/how long they have been out of the country, or when they moved house etc.

They made a change recently so that it's all local or something? Not sure how that works.

Having home, work and other key locations set in Google maps is also..... Really useful.
