Really what you're saying is that there's a whole ecosystem of businesses that depend on unavoidable surveillance.

All Apple have done is allow users to say no.

They haven't even stopped anyone opting into surveillance if they want to. It just turns out that, when given the choice, people don't like being snooped on.

I agree. Some businesses are addicted to Facebook and the data it provides, but they certainly have no right to it.

Stalking!

Snooping is a one off or occassional thing whereas continual obsessive profile building is actually stalking.

this seems to be the main new data point that is now evident for all to see

I mean it is sort of obvious to anybody not captured and with basic morals but such is the allure of greed that for ages people were cynically and hypocritically pretending otherwise
