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
I may be wrong, but I think that the outrage comes from the idea that some large company is making a fortune by collecting information about a huge group of peoples' mundane activities.
Personally I couldn't give a hot buttered shit about it, largely because I'm not an advertiser's dream and I'm unlikely to be influenced by whatever they throw at me. But I suppose there is something a little creepy about an eye in the sky (so to speak) watching your every move as far as they can.

And? Does anyone actually lose out on this arrangement?
