I'm not playing it. Although I still have my Pokemon cards from freshman year of High School. I keep forgetting to sell the bitches on eBay. I am sure they are worth a pretty penny. At least the first editions and holos.

I'm a Nintendo fan(not fanboy, IDGAF and use all systems). But I wont touch this. Security issues galore. Blocks users from participating if your phone is rooted or jailbroken(which is a good way to audit the processes on a device, so hmmmmmmmm) but it will still keep tracking your data anyways.

Wise choice. Unless you're looking for the thrill of walking off of a 90 foot ocean bluff... or finding your local sexual predator's front yard, the middle of a Holocaust museum or a shady out of the way place where you can get held up at gunpoint.
Apparently all true stories, by the way.

What security "issues" are still present after this latest update? They seemed to have addressed every concern people have (had).

That article is from the 11th. An update was pushed out on the 13th that addressed this.

Addressing concerns with words that can't be independently audited are worth jack shit. Notice the game still has a EULA that explicit says they have every right to datamine users and sell that information.
Here's a pretty good article.
http://www.politifact.com/ohio/article/2016/jul/14/pokemon-go-rnc-it-security-risk/
From the 14th, and if you keep reading, it includes 1.02, the latest version.

So basically, Niantic no longer has access to anything of importance, but if the program was compromised, outside forces could pose a risk. Seems true to a lot of applications.. what am I missing?

I liked this quote from the article you posted crys.
Just seems like a whole lot of uproar about something that is more than likely 99.99% safe, or at the very least is as safe as something a shit ton of people participate in without batting an eye. :dunno:

I figured that you might snip that part of the article. Yay journalism, we found someone who uses it and doesn't care about it. Like finding an article on heroine abuse and finding an expert to quote that says they don't care because something something benefit and use it with their kids. That does not make it a valid point about not bearing compoundable risks.
I don't care about other people using it. My point, the one that still stands, is that this is not something I will touch. Why that bothers you, IDK. Until people stand up and fight for transparency, they wont get it. That simple. If you don't care, then why do you care about what I think? There are things on my devices that are mine, and not for anyone to datamine. LOL @ CVS example, that is such a crock of shit to what actually occurs in datamining. Some of it is used to better target you for promotions and ads, yes. SOME of it, not all of it. As data breaches show constantly how often datamining leads to further exploits. It's a net negative to the consumer.

It doesn't bother me at all lol. You've mistaken my confusion for hostility. I was only curious as to why a select group of people saw this as an issue, as I genuinely did not see the associated risks (or at least the risks this brought as opposed to other location based apps, or as was brought up in the article you posted, things like a CVS charge card.)
I get that you're a very private individual. I am not. I guess this is where we differ. If someone wants to track where little ol' Novak is running around to, have at it I suppose. I'm not all that interesting.

And to your point about heroine vs Pokémon go... I don't even know what's going on here. The fallacies... they're just too much.
