Wow not surprised !!!
well it was bought out after all
Why do you need an app to tell you where the nearest Tim Horton’s? There is one on every corner. Welcome to Sleezyville, where the citizens are all asleep….
This sounds like an alarm to the use of contact tracing app.
I. can’t figure out who is storing where I go on my Iphone! Going to start leaving the phone at home. Creepy! Like stalkers.
@Cindy Mc7 The contact tracing can be more than stalking. Now in Israel, after you got contact with a virus career, the app will message and ask you to go self quarantine by law.
the news piece is about the abuse of what you mentioned…do you not understand this. If it was for using it there would be no news piece.
Wtf
Same reason the “contact tracing” app won’t be used
Who drinks that crap?
Make coffee at home again ๐
So… download the Tim Horton’s app; give it location permission, then *never* go to Tim Horton’s, bypass them and go to Starbucks – you don’t even have to buy anything at Starbucks, simply stopping long enough for the app to *believe* you visited their competition is enough to send a flurry of panic through Tim’s execs… ๐คจ
I thought we all understood that’s what these apps do. That’s why i laughed when i saw all the ads posted for their apps. I guess i should have been crying.
Trudeau as his ways of enforcing his dictatorship
tim horton’s doing shady things, not surprised.
remove all apps from your phone, hell…go back to those early to mid 2000 nokia phones.
