Agreed, this is the real issue “Wyden suggested that the intelligence community might be helping data brokers violate an FTC order requiring that Americans are provided "clear and conspicuous" disclosures and give informed consent before their data can be sold to third parties. In the seven years that Wyden has been investigating data brokers, he said that he has not been made "aware of any company that provides such a warning to users before collecting their data."”

Privacy policies have become much more readable in my experience. I still feel like I'm the only one who reads them though.

That said... I think that companies that won't allow you to use their app without consenting to your data being sold are scum of the earth.
