How much time we need to understand, that the big business is surveillance of human resources (google, facebook). There always be a ton of cash for data mining and selling it to governments, political parties, advertising companies etc. If governments try to do it, its a privacy problem. But when corporations put a cool, color(ful), free app, you will give them your data, they can sell it. And its perfectly legal. Thats why they have all the money. But you are decision maker. And only by conscious action and wise choice you can make difference. Big elites(politicians,corporations,big investors) listen only in two cases, when they loose money, and when they are afraid for their life.
