Back when we were trying to do smart things with Apache logs. And so when JS was prevalent enough and Google (+ others) started handing out snippets to get great macro data about visitors, we were all about it. It wasn't until that data became intricate user interactions that were bought and sold, did we worry. edit: So I guess that gets to where my surprise comes from. I expect first parties to gather all kinds of info about how I use their service. It's even fine. I literally signed up for it. The next step is to examine the TOS (in this case: Reddit) and see what I agreed they're allowed to then do with that data. ie. sell it so others can sell to me.
