#3Good! We need to 1) further strengthen an awareness of the "free product means you pay with your data" and 2) channel that into willingness to pay for products. The more news that link "paying" and "social media" together, the better!

We really need to strengthen awareness of the fact that paying for a product doesn't mean your data isn't getting vacuumed up.

If it's free then it sells your data. If it isn't free then it probably also sells your data, but maybe not.

It is not. A company that does not charge for use must get revenue by selling data. A company that charges for its service doesn't have to get revenue by selling data. It is "freed up" and can turn a profit through fee and skinny advertising.
