The 'Google Wants to Know Your Location' meme features a screenshot of a digital notification window asking for geographic access, typically used as a reaction to someone doing something impressive or suspicious. First appearing in early 2017, the meme satirizes the perceived lack of privacy in the modern age and the idea that tech giants are constantly monitoring user behavior. It is frequently paired with images of people showing off niche skills, finding lost items, or engaging in bizarre activities, suggesting that the moment something interesting happens, the 'algorithm' is immediately watching. Its versatility has made it a staple for commenting on everything from FBI surveillance jokes to simple everyday coincidences.
