#microg any comment?

<esse.bruno:discord> it uses MicroG which likely still leaks your location to apps without the location permission granted to them, if that's not bad enough for you, then you don't care about privacy

<esse.bruno:discord> [reply]: you can find proof of this in some source code and wiki page commits, there used to be a time frame of YEARS in which the implementation status wiki page for the gmscore(?) repo put on a joke about the implementation status of network location, saying it "does not honor app ops" (re @esse.bruno: it uses MicroG which likely still leaks your location to apps without the location permission grante...)

May be something that microg users should check more deeply.

🚨 You’re not running a security team. You're the security team.

🔐 MFA, context-aware access, DLP—start there.
🛠️ Then, monitor, review, remediate.

You don’t need perfection. You need visibility and control.
