Nobody asked you if you want to be tracked every minute of every day, whereever you go. You are just Consumer Unit #xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. You matter only insofar as you consume.
Second, it's not your friends and neighbors who are not asking where you are before tracking you. It's not even Big Brother, although Big Brother can either buy or request or simply take that data. You are tracked because the likes of Zuckerberg want to know how to manipulate you into being a better Consumer Unit #xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. "Better" is defined by the tracking entity, not the Consumer Unit.
Third, tracking is not conditioned on you having done something "nefarious". You are a Consumer Unit and are "boring" only when you are not consuming the right things and amounts. Your data set assists in discovering and correcting all poorly consuming Consumer Units. (Some Consumer Units failed to act correctly for Producer entities in the last election and may require adjustment via Marketing news delivery).
Fourth, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." In spite of this, data concerning Consumer Units is available on request or by purchase or by unpublicized seizure.
Fifth, the track record of those doing the tracking is not good when it comes to securing data.
'Oh, I see MineralMan is down at the store. It's a good time to clean out his house for him.'
'Get the PedoPinPoint App! Find a target in seconds! Follow in real-time to perfect attack point!'
This is not about Neighborhood Watch. Orwell's 1984 was too optimistic.
