That's the question Google is going to answer, with today's announcement of the "Android Earthquake Alerts System." Google is going to build what it calls "the world’s largest earthquake detection network" by rolling earthquake detection out to nearly every Google Play Android phone.
Is it any more or less surveillance than, say, COVID tracking or facial recognition geofencing reminders or traffic reporting or…
Well. It's getting complicated, that's all.
