Nearly every weather app that exists is repackaging data from an official, tax funded source. Apps using weather underground data possibly being the only exception.
Show me one that doesn’t want location permissions and such. So now they’ve got Your data and can do as they please with it.
You’re having an argument with a voice in your head or something. I’m just going to tag you and go about my morning. Good luck with whatever it is you’re dealing with.

I almost forgot this is Technology, where the most insane tech views are the norm…

Absolutely. Just don’t do anything shady with that information. I think that’s all anyone’s asking.
No it doesn’t.
It just needs to know what cities you care about.
