Corporations will monitize everything possible until the revenue stream dries up or they're forced to hit a "hard stop".
Location data is more problematic than just being a invasion of privacy. Just spitballing but I can easily see how it being sold on the dark web endangers victims of domestic abuse, makes specific murders possible (locate your target for a price) plus more.
Since our phones have more back doors than holes in Swiss cheese you know location information is a convenient tool for 3 letter agencies. I'm not going to rag on the police since I'm all for crime solving & Location info is a necessary tool for that. It's also not a stretch to consider the FCC got lobbied by communication companies to originally write a weak law to hedge their bets.
On the other hand if anyone is tracking my locations they are now bored beyond belief or they've already had a lobotomy. My moves are like watching Pong. Endlessly.
