Does Google REALLY think I'm just going to turn the Spyware back on? (lemmy.zip)

Google keeps asking about turning on my location timeline, trying to push for me to turn ON Ad tracking.

Are they stupid? If I'm the type of person who went out of his way to turn this crap off ...do they really think saying "Your in Control" is going to encourage me to turn this s*** back on?

I've never come a cross a situation where I need to know how long I've been somewhere more accurately than I can remember that I can't easily figure out some other way

You can also age locations in Google maps without having to store your location 24/7
