Surely we American should have the right to turn it off or on. At least Apple can be turned off, if one can figure it out.:mad2:

Simple solutions:

Read and understand the options available on your devices. This is not a "hidden" feature. It is merely one of many that can be overlooked by those who "buy and start using."

Don't enable the feature if you don't like it.

Don't buy the product if you don't trust the company.

Wow, a company sells a product that knowingly is violating the US Constitution's 4th. Ammendment and all you can say is "buyer beware"?

The Constitution of the United States defines the structure, powers, and limitations of the United States federal and state governments. With the exceptions of the 13th and 18th (repealed by the 21st), none of the amendments apply to private individuals either singly or in groups. The 4th amendment is not applicable to private individuals - it makes no sense.

If you mean that the company is violating some statute, you need to specify which one. If you mean that the company is in violation of the sales contract between it and the customer, you need to specify the contract term that you believe it is violating. If the sales contract has a clause that allows the company to track your location, then it is within its right.
