Pegasus spies on all the data on a phone. If a phone is really infected with that, then location access is the least of your worries.

Just make a proper threat level analysis.
Are you a journalist or politically exposed person in a non-democratic or semi democratic system?
No?
Are you in a key position of a company or agency providing (for) critical infrastructure?
No?
Are you just a little shit, trolling on the internet?*
Yes? Maybe just dial that back.

Stop spreading rumours.
Just disable the location permissions. And turn off GPS when you dont actively need it.

Am I right that you just called Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania semi-democratic countries?
I would classify them as full democracies but if you want hard numbers I would check your countries score here
