So you're fine with your everyday movements logged and published online? After all, to go anywhere you'll need to step public roads, so you have no expectation of privacy.

This comment will be downvoted, but this is hyperbole. Your everyday movements are more than just your activity in public spaces.

Likewise any website publishing your activity in public spaces is not entitled to linking it to your PII, because if they do deanonymize it, you now have means to take it down.

Your activity in public places is personally identifiable.
Again, any website publishing your activity in public spaces is not entitled to linking it to your PII, because if they do deanonymize it, you now have means to take it down.
Your activity in public spaces is PII, it's as unique to you as your face.
If you leave bluetooth on your phone, they already are.
