- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Data only needed for that specific service to function
If the app declares it needs location even though it's not needed (say it's a text editor) will microg filter it out and/or provide fake data?
I think it provides fake data but don't take my word.
Upvoted only because the comment got downvoted.
If you downvote a clearly stated opinion without clarifying why, e.g. a source clarifying that it is indeed no correct you are NOT helping the conversation.
