    Imo apps knowing what city I am in is very different from apps knowing exactly where I am. While I wouldn’t want to leak either my exact location or my city to someone that shouldn’t have access to it, I don’t really mind that much (compared to exact) if someone knows the city.

    A weather app barely needs any accuracy so it shouldn’t have it. But a navigation app does so it gets it.

      yeah if you use those kinds of things but the point is that carrier knowing your general location for no good reason is to much.
