This is exactly correct. I helped create the system used by US telcos to track users. We had GPS precision tracking on all users and used big data to geolocate that data against other users, retail establishments, and road locations. This was not nefarious. We used it to find and fix tower, highway issues and market to companies. Users agreed to it as part of their service contract.
We were required to sell the data to the government on demand due to CALEA and similar legislation.
Those who complain endlessly about AANG largely seem to have no idea of how our communications networks actually work.
Your location, activities, banking, etc. are not private, will never be private, have never been private, and it has nothing to do with AANG. The 3 AANG that I have worked are woolly lambs. That F guy is a bit suspicious, but I don't have first hand knowledge.
