What you haven't addressed is the fact that so much of SV, yc included, is now based off a business model of selling that data to third parties such as but not limited to advertisers. The same applies to the tech around banking and credit, with data selling and sharing going on all over the place.
This is the elephant in the room I don't see anyone addressing, but be warned, we can see the effect caving to this model had on the journalism industry. If tech doesn't free itself from this, it will likely have similar consequences.

Of course, identity theft is a mortal wound and is hard to ignore. Casual mometization of every private action is death by 1000 cuts.
