I'm very surprised that many seem to simply accept the rhetoric of this story and its talking points.
Exactly why are these chips being included and disabled, as opposed to not including them in the first place? No one seems to be questioning this part.

Google Maps would also change my London commute route on a daily basis given the changes in traffic patterns.
