I need to have an option to set my local advertising ID to "nil", I know why it's there, it's google after all, but I should also be able to turn that off in a definitive way on my own.
By going public with "We found this out" we already told them that it's been identified so there is no real point in staying quiet about it.
Unless it's just a fake "discovery".
"The two people declined to name the Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, nor say how many they had found in total."
Evidence is needed so people can protect their stuff / verify if this is a problem.
This right here is why general research has a place being funded by the people instead of by companies.
Companies will try to hide their results for their business edge but putting the knowledge out in the public sphere can result in whole new industries poping up.
