"Google announced it would soon change the way it would store and access users’ opt-in “Location History” in Google Maps, making the data retention period shorter, and making it impossible for the company to access it. That means it will no longer respond to “geofence warrants,” a controversial legal tool used by local and federal authorities to force Google to hand over information about all users within a given location during a specific timeframe."

Based on your headline, and the headline of the article below, is it just me, or does it sound increasingly like the tech companies are dictating what is/is not permissible, under the law?
