I was totally ready to make a "CDC, go fuck yourself!" meme when I read the headline.

Now, I can't decide how I feel. As a researcher (and someone interested in human behavior generally), it would be interesting to know how people reacted to the various measures attempted during the pandemic. On the other hand, the federal government analyzing the movement patterns of individuals is creepy-as-hell.

I'm left feeling like the headline, its submission here, and a lot of the discussion is more about propaganda than a serious discussion of the merits of this type of research.
