“Repeatedly asks user for permission to use location data, only allowing “don’t show me again” to be selected if permission is given, pestering the user until they give permission.”

Google was catalogued by the UXP2 Lab over the way its Location Services repeatedly requested permission to use location data. According to the entry, the prompt only allows a “don’t show me again” option to be selected if permission is given, pestering the user with repeated requests until they grant permission.
