I think that the issue is not that we leak data, but that in the last 10 years, it's exponentially more accessible. There was a time when finding out who I interacted with would have required many man hours and probably some court orders. Now a carelessly adding a friend on Facebook can do so. Even if I choose not to do business with large companies, so many other people can leak my data (pictures on Facebook, emails on Google servers, etc). And, of course, the ability to algorithmicly correlate it. The only answer here is strong legal protections across borders, and I'm afraid I don't see that on the horizon.
