So what do we make of all this?
The developer discloses on the app store that the precise location data collection is optional.
Is this misleading?
What we have discovered in this Twitter thread is that if you try to pair one of their devices via Bluetooth scanning, the app opportunistically siphons up your GPS co-ordinates and send them over the Internet to a remote server.
The only way to avoid this would be to manually pair the device over Wifi and avoid the Bluetooth pairing option.
Have the 500k+ people who have download Grid Connect from the Google Play store been mislead?
What do you think?

If @elonmusk really wants to change the world he should make an electric leaf blower.

Long have I argued for specifically testing the Federal parliamentary wastewater outlets, on sitting and non-sitting weeks.
And before anyone suggests otherwise, yes, it is technically possible...

Government of 'free market' tries to bully bigger free market entities to do a solid for their commercial mates in big media who never adapted to the 'free market' of the internet and cry poor.
All hail capitalism and the free market.

I grew up watching @KerryOBrien hold Australian politicians to account on @abc730 almost every night.
With his unmatched integrity & intellect he was respected & admired by all.
Now in retirement he holds them to account again with a great act of self sacrifice.

Have I got this right? The Murdoch-Liberals are pro lockdowns and border closures in states with Liberal Premiers, but rabidly against lockdowns and border closures in states with Labor Premiers. Sounds legit.

#MurdochsPetitionPanic is set to trend in Australia today as climate denier @rupertmurdoch instructs his goons to attack @MrKRudd for starting the most successful e-petition in Australia's history.
#MurdochRoyalCommission
The mood at News Corp has been described as 'desperate' as #MurdochsPetitionPanic sets in. Hit pieces on Rudd have been 'dialled up to 11' in efforts to quash the demand by Australians for a healthy media landscape.

ICYMI: A former Prime Minister has called time on Murdoch News Corp political interference in Australia. Kevin Rudd has kicked off the #MurdochRoyalCommission campaign which was so popular, traffic to the petition crashed the Australian Parliament website. #auspol
Australians have watched with growing anger at what the Murdoch media monopoly is doing to our country. A cancer on democracy.
Today I am launching a national petition to establish a #MurdochRoyalCommission.

I'm generally pretty cynical about petitions, but I've signed because I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I'm interested in why The Age has not disclosed the relationship between the Liberal party, Tim Smith MP & your, er "random" interview subject Matt Lanigan.
Here's Matt on an IPA program in May this year.
At 49.20 - "Tim Smith's a good friend of mine"

Tencent ownership stakes in gaming
Riot Games: 100% Tencent
Supercell: 84% Tencent
Epic Games: 40% Tencent
Blizzard: 5% Tencent
Ubisoft: 5% Tencent
Dozens of other developers with some sort of Tencent involvement.
This is going to have HUGE effects on the industry.

Hi, I'm the leader of the Victorian Liberal Party. We need to open up. We opened up too quickly. Dictator Dan is too authoritarian. Dictator Dan is a coward for not calling in the military. I drink my own wee wee.

Some of our "wicked problems" aren't really difficult to solve at all. We pretend that they're complex because that preserves the status quo, but we could change them at the drop of a hat. /1

In the USA, military spending is basically a welfare program which benefits poor US states which have Lockheed and Raytheon factories.

White dudes have had 'cancel culture' since forever.
They call it networking and advise you to be nice and quiet because everyone in their industry is friends and they talk.

It would be amazing if Australia's police forces had behaved with such integrity that nobody felt like gathering en masse to protest their reckless chaotic racist violence. Police should stop being so selfish as they flout assault and murder laws.
Victorian Liberal MP @TimSmithMP has called on protesters to "stop being so selfish" as they prepare to flout social distancing rules to gather in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

In the Australian government, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the wealthy, who invest in assets; and the legislators, who protect those assets. These are their stories.
