That would be true. Except that if people cared enough about it, it would be a competitive advantage to not do this. In some contexts, people do care, for instance. Companies like DuckDuckGo and Apple make privacy a selling point. Telecoms are a bit of a special case, since they're a regulated monopoly. I'm all in favor of them being forced to respect privacy, since consumers don't have choice there. But in the case of internet giants like Google/FB, i'm much less on board.
