    On Monday's RTE Radio 1 Ray D'Arcy show there was a discussion about Three passing on aggregated and anonymised movement data to the CSO for their 'Staying Local Indicator'.

    I was surprised to hear this and have a problem with it on a point of principle.

    Is it possible to stopping Three collecting this data by turning off location services?

    And no I've nothing to hide.

    Its aggregated and anonymised, if you're worried about 3rd parties having access to your location, don't be. If you're worried about your mobile phone provider having access, they have that through what masts your phone pings off as you move around anyway,
