pocomotion (@pocomotion39001) reported@JOKAQARMY1 So you delete waze and use google? They share your dirt with whomever? What issue would cause you to sue waze? It’s free, and you are free to use it or don’t.

Navid Besharati (@NavidBesharati) reported@Garnet_2203 @googlemaps @waze Google owns Waze you retard. This is exactly the reason why libtards are the problem with Canada 😔

Bob Nordberg Bird Man Bob (@birdmanbob4) reported@leahfiles Here's your reply from the AI that just don't lie Speculative Intelligence Analysis: Waze as a Compromise Vector Location Pattern Exploitation**: Waze's continuous GPS pings, route history, speed data, and timestamps create a granular digital shadow of a target's movements—revealing regular visits to sensitive locations (e.g., hotels, clinics, private residences, or protest sites). An intelligence actor with access could cross-reference this against public records, social media, or other surveillance to build "kompromat" dossiers on affairs, medical issues, financial dealings, or undisclosed associations, then use timed leaks or implied exposure to coerce compliance, payments, or information. Real-Time and Predictive Targeting**: Live traffic/ETA data allows dynamic interception or influence operations—knowing exactly when someone is isolated in a vehicle or arriving at a vulnerable spot. Combined with app permissions (microphone/camera in some scenarios, or linked device data), it could enable opportunistic collection of audio/visual compromising material or facilitate "honey-trap" logistics by predicting availability and routes for assets. Historical data also predicts future behavior for pre-positioning. Network and Ecosystem Amplification**: Since Waze feeds into Google's broader data lake (and originated as an Israeli-founded company subject to local laws), aggregated user data can be queried at scale for social graph mapping—identifying who travels together, meets whom, and when. In a full compromise scenario, this integrates with OSINT, hacked devices, or partner-nation sharing to pressure targets via family/financial exposure, or even engineer "accidents"/discrediting events by manipulating perceived travel patterns. Privacy controls are weak once data leaves the device, and legal jurisdiction adds layers for state actors. This remains hypothetical and draws from known app telemetry practices. Actual misuse would require lawful (or illicit) access and is constrained by laws in most jurisdictions; strong operational security (VPNs, app isolation, location spoofing, minimal permissions) mitigates much of it.

Nigel Poncewattle (@poncewattle) reported@oi8achevy @diaper @TeslaKing420 Wrong speed limit data can be fixed easily in Waze by submitting a map report. A local editor can fix it. Those fixes usually flow through to Google eventually. I've contacted the local editor group about getting this road fixed.

Tulip the Clown (@Clowningis4me) reported@HenMazzig Btw, I don’t have Waze, but I heard they issue police presence alerts before I even had a smartphone.
-
Jackson (@phillygeordie) reported@Don312A @ardeiusmaleus @catgirlprostate How is it “extreme levels of favoritism” when other maps show the land as Israel and Waze doesn’t? I don’t really see the problem?
-
Guy Lessard (@Guy_Lessard) reported@therealDeFlock Has anyone made an app that tracks them or maybe puts them into the Waze app since police sightings, accidents, and even pot holes are crowd sourced. Like reporting it as a broken traffic light. Make that a code for a flock camera on Waze.
-
GUYER (@reyuglatig6pge) reported@LarryBrockJr Can anyone provide a map of the flock cameras in the Portland metro area? What about Waze? Is this another issue too tied to flock?
-
Punished Sneed (@RacismFan45) reported@faustianwigger Reporting a crash on waze after i showed a cyclist the error of his ways (a hit and run).
-
404prophet (@lightscaner) reported@thsottiaux Reverse engineering the USB protocol between lightburn/ezcad to a 100W fiber laser I have that I've avoided using because the software is so meh. Maybe if I build a programatic interface I'll actually use it. Launch an app I've been working on for months thats like super waze ; connects to radar detectors and shares the pings with other users. Spend a good evening reviewing new tools/skills and workflow stuff.

Watanabe (@EzidLee) reported@DevinOlsenn I have no problem with mine. Waze? WTF is that.
-
Dave W (@Sir56ALot) reported@NationalHways @NRManc Then there are the errors; marking overnight closures as 24-hour closures is a particular annoyance. They’re clear to see because Waze routes around them but Google Maps shows green traffic both ways through the “closure”. The data’s useless if it’s not perfect.

David Keyes (@DavidMKeyes) reportedBefore working with us, Ahmadinejad kept insisting that there are no gays in Israel. I told him it's pronounced "Waze," and we invented it.
-
Leon Kelem (@LeonKelem) reported@MagaSgt @waze I'll save you the trouble and delete you first. Hopefully many others will follow my lead.

Jarek Hunt (@Gun2MoufCPR) reported@HenMazzig Who gives a **** about Waze? Figure out your under 30 in USA and their lack of support for Israel problem….
