Can I opt out from having my data shared with other companies? Or will some kind of privacy framework like ATT be applied to it?

Would you be shocked to learn that neither will happen?

I think it's aggregate data so it's not really yours.

Sure, the easiest way you can do that is to move to Europe and petition its regulators to further tighten the screws. They might actually listen.

How is moving to Europe the easiest solution? What about my family and life?

Because this can only be solved through legislature, and no matter what black swan event happens, there is no future in which the US legislature will take this problem seriously.

Google doesn't share your data with other companies.

I've literally written code that takes the firehose of data Google shares "anonymously" and deanonymizes it. They share data, it's just too obfuscated for people to understand it's happening. If this wasn't happening there wouldn't be a million companies in the ad tech space.

They share your data to anyone with a pulse. Actually, pulse optional! Programs can consume it too.
