I think the fact that they're logging my location without my knowledge or permission for their personal interests (whether their exploiting it now or not), is unethical. The lack of encryption is just an implementation oversight on their part.

It is covered in the EULA. You did read the EULA right? The only issue IS the lack of encryption.

Burying it in the EULA doesn't make it acceptable, it makes it sneaky.
