Just a few days after news broke out that Apple is being sued for location tracking, it seems that Google is being hit with a similar suit as well. Apple quickly responded by saying it plans on sending an update that clears the location cache much more often, but we have yet to see how Google responds to the issue. But there is a major difference between Apple and Google's location tracking - Google has an opt-in feature that lets the user decide whether or not the location should be tracked; the big question is: is location being tracked locally either way? If this is so, they may have to do what Apple is doing and clear that cache much more often, if not get rid of it altogether if the user opts-out.
