If you buy a stolen bike and could reasonably have known that it was not obtained with consent, you're also liable. For example, an unusually low price from someone who doesn't own a bike shop and wants cash can be indicators for that. In the case of data, it may be that they are able to provide lots of data without plausible source.

Sure, you might be liable, but do you think that in practice this will matter? It's not like it's somehow obvious that an advertising company has data on you that they shouldn't have. Somebody needs to actually suspect that for any investigation to happen.

I find it hard to say without a specific example, but I'm afraid that you might very well be right in the general case.
