It's somewhat amusing watching the overt rhetoric of advocating for data privacy enforced by governments when the majority of even technical people understand covert exploitation that is happening by said governments (and leaked to n number of 3rd parties [non govs, ngos, even the public occasionally via incompetence/leaks/hacks, etc] around the world on an increasing basis), which has the dual benefits of making the uniformed or willful ignorant feel good without actually changing the state of things.

Yup, and notice not a single person crying about privacy has been materially harmed from companies using their information to target ads or provide better products.
