> I don't blame them or any company for exploring how they can monetize every last morsel of data.

I absolutely do, if it's customer data that the company previously promised not to monetize. It's not their data to do with as they please, after all.

But the tech sector has fallen very far in terms of ethics so no company can be trusted. It's just a shame. The public views our industry in a very, very poor light and that view is 100% earned.
