foursquare labs showed me this mobile game they're working on that's like candyland, but the gameplay is dependent on the habits and location information of REAL PEOPLE, whose data has been turned into literal pawns in the game https://t.co/i2Q214DRue pic.twitter.com/pLaSveDjxP

if you have a smartphone, chances are foursquare is tracking your location and habits. foursquare powers snapchat, twitter, uber, apple maps, accuweather, wechat, and more nowadays, and it's using that data for some truly truly weird stuff https://t.co/i2Q214DRue

Foursquare’s Hypertrending as of Fri 4:45pm at @SXSW in Austin. Lots and lots of dots (!!) while movies & “brand activations” still dominating the Top 100 list. Super curious to see what this looks like at 11pm and 2am. More deets: https://t.co/tCkOIpJ4JZ pic.twitter.com/yaiNNcvZvf

You may not use the Foursquare app anymore, but it can still track you through Snapchat, Twitter, Maps, Airbnb, and more. And now they're testing a map that can show clustered locations of everyone in the area with a trackable smartphone.https://t.co/ycNNjcTPPs

You might think you don’t use #Foursquare, but chances are you do. Foursquare’s technology powers the geofilters in #Snapchat, tagged tweets on #Twitter; it’s in #Uber, Apple Maps, Airbnb, #WeChat, and #Samsung phones, to name a few. https://t.co/mGoe9w3lU9 #privacy #security

More of this: “This is what we mean when we talk about “transparency” – we want to be honest, in public, about what our technology can do, how it works, and the specific design decisions we made in creating it.” -@dens https://t.co/FuGGVT9lPR #ux #ai

Really liked @dens outlining a vision on the 10th anniversary of @Foursquare that’s grounded in being an ethical tech company that uses location data in a way that respects privacy & agency. https://t.co/XVNmF3OTE5 Takes guts to turn down $millions to follow a better mission.
