How many do you really think are hostile?

Your average person at your average company will one day think, "how are people finding out about us?". They do a Google search for how to answer this question for their company and find Google Analytics.

This is certainly not hostile. May be slightly ignorant, but can you blame them?

For sure i have come across websites where my eyes rolled ("common guys, i know you are better than this").

But the web has not been transformed from a web of users to a web of data mined "product" without very conscious moral choices by many commercial actors.
