Thanks for this comment. I am getting sick of this implication that it's one way or another - we either accept the gross invasion of the privacy of billions of people and let companies do whatever they want with that data... or we're freeloading assholes who just want everything for free and clearly we don't understand how business and the world works.

Unfortunately many people seem to ignore the fact that it isn't one or the other, and we can reach a balance here.
