So this free website that serves billions of people makes money off the data you knowingly give it to target advertisements. That's what is considered evil nowadays?

Does it escape people that this is the only way we're going to get free social media or search engines? Here are the options the currently existing websites have:

  1. Free and sells data to advertisers
  2. Not free
  3. Nonexistent

If none of those options please you, then it's not some concern about malpractice, it's just being unrealistic.
