per the article, it’s rather better than that.
Pretty much anything trying to predict human behavior is a heuristic; people using them as if they’ve got some kind of certainty is a problem.
My impression from the article is more that they’re not doing any kind of garbage-in assessment: nobody is making sure they’re getting answers about the right person (eg: some women date more than one guy) and some women don’t feel safe giving accurate answers to the police, and there aren’t good failsafes available for when it’s wrong; you’re forced to hire legal counsel and pursue a change via the courts.
Historically, the answer on this has involved charging very different amounts in different countries. This both enables some level of access by the poor and maximizes profits.
That Saudi. The plan there seems to be to sell off all the oil, and then have the royal family decamp to a more northern latitude with their harems while the rest of the population cooks to death.
He’s not mentioned of being one of them; just all the people around him. I figure he types in the address by hand to check in.
Not in the same detailed minute-by-minute tracking of where you’ve been.
They’re also buying tracking data from phone apps, so you’d need to make sure you’re not running any of those either.
People have done all the things you propose. Repeatedly. It maybe gets some minor local attention, and a police crackdown, but hasn’t changed much of anything. That’s why people have resorted to stuff like putting soup on the glass protecting artworks or gluing themselves to runways.

Bloomberg (the news outlet) has a bunch of rather competent reporters who regularly cover climate, and Michael Bloomberg (who owns a controlling interest in it) was one of the major funders of the Sierra Club’s campaign to phase out coal use in the US.
The NYT is also very clear that it’s not cloud seeding:
Although some have speculated that recent cloud seeding efforts by the U.A.E. — using chemicals to increase the chances of clouds producing rain — could have contributed to the extreme weather, scientists said this was very unlikely.
“Rainfall enhancement could not cause that kind of increase in rainfall,” said Steven Siems, an expert in cloud seeding at Monash University in Australia, adding that any effects from cloud seeding would have been “marginal” at most.
It’s not impossible; it just requires building a whole lot of expensive infrastructure which is used very infrequently. People usually don’t choose to do that.
The messaging needs to come from somebody they trust.
More that peoples’ movement data isn’t worth much, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to impose legal requirements on keeping it private.
