#2Personal information is extremely valuable. I don't understand why people are opposed to collecting and making use of it. Not doing so would be inefficient and foolish.
While I believe that those who collect such data would make the world a better place if they freely distributed it, I don't think they should be forced to.
I'm sure that whatever hypothetical problem that could result from such collection of data could be solved more efficiently in a different way.

Because I value my privacy.
That said, I do think people should not be surprised that when they reveal pieces of information to a company that that information is used by that company in ways that they don't 100% agree with. If you give up information, you're giving up (some amount) of control over how that information is used.

Edit: OP changed his comment, so my response is looking off-topic now
Sure, please paste here your email and other accounts logins.
Maybe you say you can't trust some random stranger on the internet but why would your trust companies, they have no morals, they want only to make money for themselves and on top of that they are incompetent and they can lose your data and random people on the internet will have it.

Personal information is information about a person. We already collect information about things. Why not collect information about people, which are arguably more interesting?

The main problem isn't making use of personal information, but using it in such a way where it is not clear to the user as to what is being collected by whom, and what is the value they're getting back for that information.
Moreover, is is extremely hard to know about and control leakage of that info to parties you didn't consent to directly.

#9Until Apple growth streak breaks and they start to use data like everyone else and using data is a good thing.
