> consumers are fine with sharing their data Google is an advertising company. Google exists because businesses advertise and Google became, overnight in geological terms, the sine qua non of advertising. Consumers aren’t really OK with sharing gobs of private data, but most don’t have a choice, many enjoy the free shit that they get from Google, most don’t notice or realize how much and what kind of data is collected, and none zero zip nada of us can stop Google from doing it. This is absolutely nothing new in thousands of years. Businesses have sold and hoarded and collected and traded consumer info since time immemorial. Among themselves, with government, with law enforcement, with criminal gangs, who knows. You’re simply deluded if you think any commercial activity is private or confidential for a consumer. Yes even if you pay with $2 from your cleavage.
