And couldn’t I just fake the times someone saw my ads to get more money? How is that effective? As an advertiser do I have to just trust the ones seeking ad space?

    (If you took your phone anywhere, we knew it.)

    Is this because people have the location setting turned on or does it not matter?

      I wasn’t involved in the tech end, so I imagine locking down your location settings could block some of it, but I wouldn’t put it past Google or Apple to snag information from the mandatory 911 cell location.

      It does and it doesn’t.

      Think of it like, there’s dozens of different ways to get your location data, and maybe 90% of people will be exposed by one or other method.
