The premise that you can make predictions based on historical data and force it down people's throat is deeply flawed and only perpetuates those obsessed with data hoarding and analysis and are vested in seeing more value than it provides and patterns where none exist.
There is no reason for Google or Microsoft to track any individuals location, buying preferences or interests. They are fickle and change forget days hour to hour. They perpetuate echo chambers and promote narrow segmented views rather than universal information.
So historical data is useless. And the very idea of tracking location and being blase about it seeking to 'normalize' it is deeply invasive, odious and authoritarian. It's not normal to stalk people. These companies have become monsters with no ethical constraints in search of more ad revenue and there is going to be a massive backlash soon.
