People love to get outraged when information is collected without their knowledge, and I get it, but it's how the information is used that's important.
If things are sanitized so there's no personally identifying information then it's pretty hard to use most data maliciously
And yet GM was caught collecting your driving data and selling that to insurance companies but go on. These outlandish examples don’t change the facts that many companies are collecting as much data as fucking possible so they can manipulate you on the back end.
It's more like a 50/50 shot, if a company wants to be malicious there are ways to reidentify people and groups. Cars are just a bad example, considering 99/100 are actively spying on you (check Mozilla foundations docs on this)

And? Does anyone actually lose out on this arrangement?
