It would be really interesting if each app was fed a slightly modified location as steganography. Then the sold data could be cross-referenced to determine which companies are selling the data.

Sounds like a waste of time to me. If you feed 5 different location streams, you'll just find those same 5 streams for sale.. What a f---ing nightmare we're living in
More than likely, we'd have five companies selling the same original data.
