Role of GPS in Meshtastic

New here, and don’t want to kick a can of bees --but shouldn’t GPS broadcasting from nodes and/or phones be optional?

A use-case for it being optional; opening up my network of 24 nodes to the general public. I don’t want that kind of power or awareness of users. Or a protest some developing country (ie. Arab Spring).

Some want it for all messages sent, I understand that use case. But with multiple use cases, a toggle may serve them all.

I started a GPS-only discussion thread here for further exploration: https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/role-of-gps-in-meshtastic/
