What I'm hearing is a lot of whataboutism in this whole thread. Nobody should be allowed to just track you without your permission. Privacy laws should be enforced and should be strengthened to prevent this type of thing.
It doesn't matter that the auto industry poisoned people for 100 years while lying about the dangers. It matters that leaded fuel isn't used anymore because people and their governments did something about it (leaded fuel is only used in aircraft, racing cars, farm equipment, and marine engines but not in consumer vehicles since 1975 in the US).
It doesn't matter that drug companies in the past haven't given people a complete list of the dangers of drugs. They do now.
It doesn't sound like you're actually looking for an answer to what could be improved. It sounds like you use the product or one like it so because it's convenient for you you don't care about the inconvenience or danger to anyone else. That's pretty callous.
