A privacy policy is not informed consent. Nobody would have a problem if they asked first. The tech industry likes to act as if they have a right to use any data they get their hands on for any purpose; why wouldn't you expect a hostile reaction when people see their data being used without their explicit permission? A common response is that nobody would participate with a proper opt-in system. That lack of participation is sending a clear message.
