There are two links. The first of them gets you to the relevant Snopes article debunking the story. The second gets you to the list you're looking for.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 ... U5e6XHz7SoYour Apps Know Where You Were Last Night, and They’re Not Keeping It Secret
At least 75 companies receive anonymous, precise location data from apps whose users enable location services to get local news and weather or other information, The Times found. Several of those businesses claim to track up to 200 million mobile devices in the United States — about half those in use last year. The database reviewed by The Times — a sample of information gathered in 2017 and held by one company — reveals people’s travels in startling detail, accurate to within a few yards and in some cases updated more than 14,000 times a day.

Turning of Location does not help. The Flashlight app is one the worst culprits.

The app developers can make money by directly selling their data, or by sharing it for location-based ads, which command a premium. Location data companies pay half a cent to two cents per user per month, according to offer letters to app makers reviewed by The Times.

A company I used to work for made good money selling data. Some companies paid us a dollar or more for the good stuff. It was my job to clean up the databases. --bleh
