If I'm understanding this correctly, this is the equivalent of the "taxi radio". Taxi drivers without a current ride or on a short one, can listen to it. They usually talk to a centralized office, but also amongst themselves. i.e. Ask for advice going somewhere, warn about accidents, etc.

It's a great idea for Taxi's (the radio).

I'll hold my opinion on this software.

It's not very GDPR compliant either.

And that is a good thing.

You mean it's bad for users to be legally equiped to be able to request what data is collected from them ?

And legally, formally deny permission for data collection, apparently. I don't know why people are against this.

I also don't know why the parent post is getting down-voted. HN can be harsh.

There's a segment of HN that's very anti-regulation.

You're broadcasting your address to people around when you're looking for ride. Unsafe? I think it's much safer than anonymous rides through Telegram platform. If you have any ideas besides criticism you're welcome to contribute.
