    Where the fuck are you going, or what are you doing, to where you don’t want your taxi trips tracked?

    I understand privacy and stuff, but sometimes people take it and “muh freedoms” way too seriously overboard.

      You can’t imagine famous people, federal investigators, Union organisers, protected witnesses, or literally anybody else that wouldn’t want their movements trackable by a company or anybody that company gets hacked by?

        Of course I can, did you even read my comment?

        I never said there might not be legitimate reasons to avoid tracking. I’m saying sometimes it’s taken too seriously to the point of silliness and forgoing convenience for the sake of “I don’t want the gub’ment tracking me” freedom nonsense. There will be times when it makes sense, there will be times when it’s just silly.

          That’s not how privacy works though. You either have it when you don’t need it or don’t have it when you need it. You don’t just get it when you need it.

          It’s not silliness to presume that you could eventually be in some situation where you need a high amount of privacy.

          Maybe if you don’t actually participate in society, there’s some life circumstances that mean you would never need privacy. There’s probably like a hundred people alive like that. I don’t think they take taxis.
