>wholesale sale of data to anyone

You know Google doesn't do this, right? Besides being against their own terms of service (and outright illegal), they're economically incentivized not to; they use the data to make their ad auctions more efficient, an edge they would lose if they sold the raw data.

Google is big enough to not need to sell that data. Doesn't make it a right thing to do.
