Interesting, but I think it makes a pretty bad argument in favor of privacy if you publish your whereabouts of a whole year in a newspaper.

In favor of his own privacy yes. He exposed his location history to inform others that big brother knows this about them too.

He was also a politician, and their expectation of privacy is less than ordinary people anyway (e.g. sex life, earnings, people they meet, donations they do, etc.). So I'm happy he made a case of himself for privacy, demonstrating in parallel that he's not ashamed of his whereabouts.
