At this point, can we just pin a post to the top of every message board and forum that says:

> [For Profit Company] [verb] [adjective] data of [noun].

The point is, what do people think these thousands of engineers are doing throughout the tech industry? Do people really believe it takes 1k developers to style a login button? Or deploy a kubernetes cluster?

It's painfully simple. Capitalism dictates that companies must acquire and explore new methods of generating profit at all costs. Therefore, it should be assumed that an internet company is hoovering as much data as possible until proven otherwise.
