Agreed. Most people I know were at least curious/interested about the project, but also had serious reservations about Google's privacy and data collection and wanted stricter oversight on how their personal data would be used.

>>stricter oversight on how their personal data would be used.

Beyond that, how many would have opted for "don't collect let alone use anything about me". I have never met anyone who actually wants their physical movement to be tracked by advertisers, not for infinite starbucks discounts. Most hesitate at the idea of employers or even family members tracking them 24/7.

> Most hesitate at allowing their employers to track them after hours

Is that a real thing?

Do you have a work-issued cellphone? I do. I also carry my own phone but my job requires that I have the work phone on me 24/7 when out of the office.
On-call? Do you get on-call pay?

If not, have you asked for 3x normal salary, since they apparently think they own you 24/7?
