That's maybe true, but giving governments the possibility to create movement profiles of people and correlate them is extremely dangerous. Maybe your current government is liberal enough to forego using the political aspect of the tracking app, but you can never be sure that this stays the case. What about governments with authoritarian regimes?

Finally regarding Google/FB: Why would you give up even more of your privacy?

They're probably not going to care about people's views in the first place. Such regimes are already mandating apps of this type to be used.
