The investigative HS article about the phone location data trade was in the news just recently. In the article, HS journalists had acquired extensive amount of mobile phone location data from data brokers as free samples. The data detailed everyday movements of almost a million Finns, including some incredibly private information like movement of army personnel and home locations of Finnish politicians.
At Jolla, we build on one principle: your phone should serve you. You are not the product. Thank you to the HS journalists for concretely opening how the general market works. That is why we are different.

It is funny that HS should say this but they share data with quite a list of data brokers and require 5€/month to stop doing so 🤔.
Of course they are not the only shit corporation doing this but either way they are one of the bad guys they so nicely introduce in the article.
