## What Jamie wrote

Very detailed read on how location data is being captured by data brokers and being used in so many different ways. It is a good read to understand why you need to be mindful of giving location information to applications. This is a good argument for why we need comprehensive privacy legislation in the United States. It is scary how much information we are giving anyone that is willing to pay.
