Description option_Al 2014-12-19 14:33:39 UTC 
used modemmanager for E392 Huawei in Ubuntu 14.10 noticed from syslogs that it prints locatons then censoed it couple of days 

even done this after modem activation:

sudo mmcli -m 0 --location-disable-cdma-bs --location-disable-gps-raw --location-disable-gps-nmea --location-disable-3gpp

it does this: 

Dec 18 16:14:57 b0X ModemManager[874]: <info>  Modem /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0: 3GPP location updated (MCC: 'XXX', MNC: 'X', Location area code: 'X', Cell ID: 'X')

I have secured realworld address please fix modemmanager default so I won't get killed by bad people who can read location from my logs, please put the default setting not asking location info and on demand the location search.

How about decreasing those log messages to debug level? i.e. not shown unless MM is run in debug mode.
