Wow, wasn't expecting to find good news here, but I think that would be a positive change.
the US has learned this same lesson many times though, with people of all stripes posting their workouts running back and forth on aircraft carriers on strava. same with their patrol routes around bases
Battlefield AI could continuously generate simulations of troop deployments in plausible detail and publish them by loading web pages with spoofed location data on behalf of warfighter's "private" devices. They could also use drones as a kind of infantry chaff, with correct electromagnetic signatures from infrared to wifi.

Even the more conservative tech companies have no qualms about "anonymizing" data then sharing it.
(also "sale" is a very weak word. many companies "never sell" data, but they collect it, they share it, etc)
Same with aircraft carrier movements.
