On one hand I agree. Big corporations are doing this too. On the other hand:

1. This is just a tiny fraction of the violations they've done.

2. I trust big corporations to have better data categorization and secure storage.

3. If big corporations misuse data, they are liable to a pretty large class action lawsuit. There's not much recourse in the case of Rabbit.

4. There's no good reason to collect and send cell tower data back to their servers for their use case.

I've worked at mega corps and I do not.

Not in the US.

There is no reason to collect most of the data mega corps do either.
