People tracking your in-person movements and behaviors is way more threatening than people tracking your online behaviors

You are seriously clueless if you think otherwise

The police observing your car driving down a road is not threatening, and acting as if it is is hysteria.

Furthermore, if you’re worried about that, have you considered that “they” could get even more comprehensive tracking data just by requesting it from a data-broker? There’s no divide between the online and real world if you have a phone or an online presence.

Yeah, but a national license plate surveillance system that lets a single police officer observe all of the movements you and your family members make every day for the past few years is not a single police officer making a plainview observation of you driving down the road. And it's clearly a power that threatens liberties, you cannot have a free society when a government has that power. "Palantir, what are the names and home addresses of all of the people that were at the pro-Mamdani rally, show me places that many of them go to in common, I want to find where these criminals are having their secret meetings." Probably not in voice-to-text form, but this power is already in the hands of some US agencies, in part thanks to the national ALPR system.
