This point is incorrect. There are unfortunately many companies that sell consumers' information directly [1][2]. I understand people have hatred for big companies collecting advertising related information. Nevertheless, it's misguided to pretend the industry of directly collecting and selling private information doesn't exist. Your ISPs can and do collect much worse data about us. The potential damage is much worse. I'm more worry about the lack of oversight on that industry.
