Headline seems click-baity?

"It then models this anonymized data in simulations — creating a synthetic population that faithfully replicates a city’s real-world patterns but that “obscures the real-world travel habits of individual people,"

If you trust the anonymization sure - many don't for good reason, and this is not opt-in.

Headline isn't clickbait; your comment is deceptive. The article actually says this:

"If Sidewalk Labs has access to people’s unique paths of movement prior to making its synthetic models, wouldn’t it be possible to figure out who they are, based on where they go to sleep or work?"

People can read the article for themselves and see for themselves.
