Yes except they only have your location and that may not be acceptable to some. Google on the otherhand has much more than just your location - everything you look at, everything you buy, every email/text conversation

Companies that have chosen a surveillance capitalism business model have way more personal data, but they claim that they aren't selling that data to anyone willing to cut them a check the way that the carriers and app developers do.
However, data hordes stored by Google/Facebook/etc are still subject to warrants, so how much do you trust that warrants will not be abused?
