While I do think there's a case to be made that it's none of the government's business how many times per week I visit Starbucks, my main concern is big tech companies, banks and insurance companies collecting this information about me, and using it to build a profile based on which they place me into different groups or more or less privilege, offer me different deals, or otherwise manipulate me and my behavior.
