@mathmanx: I know these issues are as old as the country, ok?! We’ve been screaming about the backsliding of rights since 2022 and the takeover of this entity since 2023 (which was sickening late as well). I’m genuinely concerned it will not end, but will instead infiltrate everything so that our only options are 1984 or an off grid pioneer life. Neither have a glowing life expectancy, let’s be honest.

this didn't make sense to me. So I googled for a couple mins. Waze was an Israeli company bought by Google. the headquarters for waze is in Israel. still more research down this rabbit hole is called for

Peggy🦋 :

I'm lost. What's this about?

Holly :

Waze is legally governed and controlled by the laws of Israel and the United States, depending on which aspect of the company and user agreements you look at.Waze data is ultimately housed on Google Cloud servers, meaning the physical data centers are subject to U.S. federal laws, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the CLOUD Act. These laws grant American federal law enforcement agencies the power to subpoena data held by U.S.-based companies, even if it belongs to foreign operations.

Kaelendra :

Here I thought apps on app stores have to follow the laws of the country of the app store they’re on…. Not sure I even made sense with that…. Also don’t even know if Waze is in Canada on Canadian app stores up here…. Never used it.

Kat :

Is there another app that we can use? 😅 I love having live updates.

steven.muller2786 :

Never had it I just have Apple Maps. A lot of people I’m hearing using Mapquest

swFrench :

does the same apply to Google and google maps if they didn't change it?

Alto :

People don’t realize how much they own in the US. There’s a reason that the war is going the way it is.

Sum guy :

I just deleted the app & deleted my account

Timmy of tabor :
