An abuser could use the always share function to exert a powerful degree of dominance and control over their partner. Suspicious partners will almost certainly have arguments over “Why won’t you share your location with me? What are you trying to hide?” Teenagers are not likely to be happy when parents insist they share their location whenever they go out.

Nevertheless, it’s not hard to imagine scenarios where location sharing can be a problem.
#Google maps location sharing full#
Google took care to give the user full and transparent control over whether they share their location and who they share it with. Where are we supposed to get the cookie file from if not cli.Montage of the three main characters from 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly' Credit: Max Tohline/Vimeo This is telling me that the cookie file is actually an input to the cli.py, not an output file. If I touch a new cookie file and execute the cli.py, it returns an error of “Ran out of input”. The cookie file, however, isn’t changed (and still doesn’t work with HA). What’s interesting is if I use one of my old cookie file, the cli.py execution returns a prompt and no error, as if it succeeded.

This account doesn’t have 2-step on it and it used to work fine with location sharing in home assistant but I’m moving my home automation to another computer and now it’s broken and I can’t get it working again. I never get to the point where the cookie file was created. I’m sure the credentials are correct, I verified it several times using an incognito window.

Right after that it spits out a data structure with a bunch of data in it like my email address and Google picture link and a message that says “INCORRECT_ANSWER_ENTERED”.

I’m having a problem with location sharing too.
