How are these different? Even if you already pay for a service they will maximize their return by doing everything that is legally allowed. This needs CCPA-style disclosure and opt out I think.

The difference is expectation. I expect my phone calls to be private. That goes for the associated data.

I don't have the same expectation of FB. I don't know anyone who does.

> I don't know anyone who does.

This is a problem with running in mostly technical circles. I don't think your expectations are well aligned with "average citizen".

I know people, who were very surprised to hear, that FB can read all their personal messages as well.
