AP and Princeton University: Google tracks location of users even when they tell it not to

I don’t even see anything on that page for turning off location tracking. They don’t even mention location as being part of the web and app activity they store. Reading that page any reasonable person would assume it’s only referring to searches entered into the various Google applications.

I’ve chosen to let my phone record my location but it’s insane (evil?) that Google lets people think they’ve disabled that feature in the most obvious and conspicuous manner when in fact it does nothing of the sort.
