This is very disappointing. I would love to hear from user crhulls https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=crhulls the CEO Life360 (or so claimed, I can't verify). Too bad Hacker News doesn't have a notify on @ mentions. Then again, not being discord is a feature not a bug.
I am probably a little bit late here - would have loved to jump in sooner.
This is the most twisted reporting that has ever happened to us. We participated in good faith and they cherry picked individual phrases from our written answers and omitted including the ones that hurt their narrative. I literally gave them a list of suggestions on how the industry could be better regulated for all involved and they didn't even mention that.
I do acknowledge we have a data platform. They made it sound like we have no safeguards and anyone can buy data which is patently false. I also pointed them to this blog post which we sent out to 100% of our email list which is highly transparent. We are one of the few companies to have a privacy center which outlines everything we do in plain english with no legalese.
I'm very sad and disappointed. And an @ notify feature could have helped but as you say this is not Discord
You're literally trying to portray Life360 as the victim.
If Life360's mission is to keep children safe, exposing their location data simply cannot be part of that. These two activities cannot coexist without undue risk.
No parent is ever going to be okay with sharing thier kids location with countless 3rd parties. Pretending otherwise is just disingenuous.

You're being obtuse and confusing "twisted reporting" with reporting a twisted business.
