thanks for reminding me why I use an ad blocker (and why I hate pro-life fuckers)

Your ad blocker doesn't block location data if your mobile carrier is selling it to these brokers (and they almost certainly are).

It's why there's been such an effort to move to apps instead of webpages that can do the same thing. More data collection and notifications.

That’s been the trend for more than a decade though. Some companies are more militant about it than others.
