You just described every business. People don't have perfect knowledge.
Thank you for trying to raise awareness over an admittedly important issue.
But calling this "evil" is absurd.
Go yell at people convincing college kids to sign up for credit cards or buy magazines by handing out T-shirts and movie passes.
For comparison: The phone companies know about every phone call you make. That's a wealth of information. They're exploiting people's ignorance to get it...
The credit card companies know about every purchase you make. Why would a company ever let another company know everything about all of their purchases?
ADP knows how much you pay all of your employees!!!
When your hard drive "fails," the guy from HP and Dell could be copying all of your data, not just "servicing" your computer!!!

- thezilch 15y agoLook no further than your government. Frankly, you may be better served encouraging the use of encryption, because, sadly, I could probably convince myself that Google can be trusted to lobby for my rights/privacy more/better than my governments prying eye would lobby to take them away. However, awareness of encrypting important data and not using online-social tools is the alternative.
