I don't really trust them tbh they've never cared that much about user safety or privacy. You can still triangulate people's location, in Egypt this was used to imprison LGBT people.
I'm sure there's navigators who discovered California-sized lands (from the perspective of Europeans not of those who already lived there), that called it "triangulización" in Spanish. They triangulized, or triangulated.
And it was cool the first time, with mountain peaks, and a very accurate compass, going on a hike and figuring out where you were on a map, without the whole satellite cakewalk.
But all of that's a nitpick of a nitpick, you and the parent post are totally right. But like totally. You should all have read the last paragraph in this post first, what I said doesn't change things, it's trivial to get our positions.
