Dozens of iPhone Apps 'Constantly' Sending Location Data to Data Monetization Firms

Never noticed Background App Rrefresh is just about wi-fi according to settings. I thought that it would keep a non Apple app from refreshing in the background. Go figure. Had noaa and gas buddy. Deleted for now. Using dark sky(tho I’m not crazy about it’s wildly swinging forecasts) for now. Also I ride a motorcycle, so when I need gas, I need gas.
-edit: cellular data should be more granular than off or on for an app, like while using or never

We are coming to the time of a paywalled / subscription internet. The free stuff isn’t going to be around. Separate lanes for speed are already all around us. Then just like cable tv went from no commercials to what it is today, and we will again be paying to have our data still mined anyway.

When did tv have no commercials

I’m not that old. But —>Cable<— T.V. As in coaxial. Local broadcast that we previously used rabbit ear antennas retained their commercials. The “Premium” channels you paid for didn’t have dish detergent and car commercials running all the time. MTV was a music video station.

This was the provider we had.
But the promise didn’t last long as they added regional channels into national as I understand it. Plus ya’ know... the $.
Also, since I’m showing my age, when mobile phones went from analog to digital (which allowed carriers to sell more customer lines per tower), the promise from them was lower rates and better call quality.
