So,,, at what point does this become accepted (as opposed to tolerated) business practice? Or, more optimistic, no longer tolerated. At one point it was ok to say, "This is all new and still being worked out." But, it is no longer new. It is very worked out. Entire sectors of the economy (and legal system) are devoted to knowing more about consumers then they sometimes know about themselves. The entire industry is being built on bait-and-switch and obfuscation practices. And, the tech industry, the supposed knight in shining armor come to save humanity from itself, is leading the way. Someone, at some point, needs to call a spade a spade. We need to own this, if this is our new society. Or stop closing our eyes, if it isn't.
