i already havent touched pokemon go in months but now im officially uninstalling. I encourage you to do the same. Not even to make Niantic reconsider, since it's clear that their goal has always been to get data to sell to intelligence agencies. At this point, just do to protect yourself.
Are you a Pokémon Go player of any era who has feelings about how the game's data has been used? Has it soured your memories of the game? Have you stopped playing because of it? Would you want to chat about it for a Kotaku story? Please reach out here or email me at [email protected]
