Here Are Some Links For Your Weekly Reading - August 19th, 2018

Turns out, Google is tracking your location history - even when you turn off location tracking in Google Maps.

It's increasingly apparent that privacy in today's digital age is a farce. 

 

If you want to actually stop Google from tracking location (short of selling all of your material possessions and living off the grid) turn off your device information, location history and web activity here. This will depersonalize your searches as well - so your ads will (hopefully) not know your deepest darkest secrets anymore. 

Here are some of the posts that caught my eye recently. Hope you find something interesting.
