This is diabolical lmao

Niantic has never made a secret of this. Maybe read the games' terms of use and privacy policy? And no one is forced to play with their real name. The data is also anonymized. If the game is free, you are the product.

I never played Pokémon Go because I’m not a fucking dork

Trading personal data for entertainment is like 90% of the Internet… how do you not already know this?

Now what do you think x is doing with all the posts with all of our thoughts and ideas as a collective ?? We are building their AI

wait til u hear about them ancestry saliva swabs 😵‍💫🤣

They (Niantic) were doing it long before with Google in the Game Ingress. Where do you think all of the data for Pokémon location came from initially? Ingress is the worlds most expensive free game and combines Geocaching with a sci-fi capture the flag type narrative hook.

We all knew this at the beginning lol

Does this count as child labor?

Ingress.....was the precursor to Pokemon go where they started getting this data, also not really secret either

Wait until you learn what they are doing with self service till cameras and shopping apps… 😇
