I think there is a good kind of sharing data and a bad kind
For example, I recently read about a news article relating to Alzheimer's, and how scientists have discovered how brain cells die. This wouldn't be possible if there was no data shared with those people about Alzheimer's.
The bad kind of data sharing is, data that no one else needs to know about, such as in this article https://mullvad.net/en/why-privacy-matters/data-brokers, it is mentioned how data brokers are tracking peoples location, and where they go in their lives, and that you can purchase this data. It is not private.
And if you'd argue that tracking locations can help GPS such as Google Maps, I would say that from reading, satellite imagery is used as well as user submitted data (such as images in reviews, I guess). Peoples location doesn't need to be known by anyone but themselves.
Also with abortion being illegal in some states in America, I would be cautious and there's probably ways of hiding your data for that, I would imagine.
