Since when have users been entitled to privacy? It's just more obvious now when user data is collected, and things move much faster so it's on a more tangible scale. Small town gossip was used in much the same way to gain competitive edges at the expense of customer privacy, it just wasn't as easy to see/prove how the data moved from one spot to another back in the days of pre-electronic commerce.

Users can demand privacy. It's not a given who has rights to what, privacy or data.
