Google To Honor "Don't-Track-Me-Bro" Requests

theodp writes "Someday soon, Google will allow owners of Wi-Fi access points to opt out of a Google service that uses their data to determine the location of others' smartphones. The opt-out service will be available globally, although it was created at the instigation of European privacy regulators, Google Global Privacy Counsel Peter Fleischer explained in a blog post."

wtf @ title

I take it the word "Bro" has you confused. It's quite simple, Google will not track members of the 1st Infantry Division (United_States) [wikipedia.org] or members of the Border Roads Organization [wikipedia.org], especially if said members are wearing a male bra [wikipedia.org] while in a particular town in Sweden [wikipedia.org]. Is it clear enough now?
