I think the larger issue is to be competitive in the app market you need to be free, and to generate revenue they have to resort to shady ways, monetizing using data or manipulating user's behavior.

I think that the business model needs to be changed starting all the up at places like Facebook and Google. At some point these products are going to be perhaps even under our skin and if they are still 'free' and needing to resort to dirty methods to turn a profit by invading our privacy, it will just be the inevitability of the way things are now.
