If every distro uses a different key, then Google can distinguish which
distro users are using. Wouldn't that qualify as a privacy breach? IIRC,
we explicitely don't send the google cookie for safebrowsing. If we
don't do that for geoloc, that would seem like a bug. OTOH, they can
probably correlate with the google cookie the user is already using in
the same browser... So while using a different key means more
information available to google, is it actually making things worse than
they already are?
That being said, doesn't shipping those keys in the source packages in
distros breach their TOS?
