> Google Play has policies in place that prohibit using this data for purposes other than advertising and user analytics. Any claims that advertising ID was created to facilitate data sales are simply false.
How do policies _prevent_ data sales exactly? Their policies can say whatever they want—if the data is available in the first place, it _will_ be misused, regardless of whatever your policies say. If your enforcement hinges on your detection algorithms that data is being misused, you can't guarantee that violations aren't taking place.
This is Google's Cambridge Analytica.
It's insane that these privacy abuses happen again and again, and people have no protection or ways of stopping it. At the very least, we deserve a cut of the profits they're making by selling our data on these scummy markets.
