    That argument pisses me off.

    “I don’t mind so fuck you.”

    If you want to use those services, that’s your business. But I don’t use those services; they still keep my data.

      Exactly why we need data privacy laws. Sadly there are “profiles” out there for all of us, whether you chose to be tracked or not. Personally I think that any kind of sharing of personal data with marketers should be illegal nor should it be legal for any entity to purchase personal data without a signed consent form from the person in question.

      That’d probably end “free” services and our credit score system in the United States but honestly that kind of data collection is equivalent to stalking and unethical.
