So it seems obvious that this is not the only questionable use location data is being put to. Businesses could buy location tracks on competitors to find out if they are having health problems or to blackmail them. Criminals could use it for blackmail. Foreign governments could use it for blackmail and to build contact networks for people of interest. People could find out which politicians attend neo-nazi meetings. Dead drops for bribery money could be discovered by journalists. Infidelities could be tracked. There are likely many many uses. Apparently the data is easily available. So misuse is likely widespread already. Much of the data is archived and could be mined for any use in the future.
