So how do you stop Google or Samsung from using your location data without your consent?

- Not using GPS? Not an option because you need it

- Disabling permissions? Not possible for "system apps"

- Having the 10% privacy aware people block location somehow (via rooted phone or different distribution)? That doesn't help the other 90%.

IMO the only solution is to poison the data with fake locations.

Are there other options I missed?
