gollark: ... they *do*. Corporations aren't evil exactly, but they're amoral profit maximizers.
gollark: Also, while this isn't the same class of privacy issue as Google analytics tracking and whatnot, governments can use big piles of data to enhance control of the populace and stop dissent. Look at China.
gollark: Privacy *is* to some extent a direct goal for people, since you probably wouldn't want to, I don't know, use a toilet with glass walls in the middle of a public square.
gollark: Partly, but you can also just not give them the data. It's easier than trying to stop price discrimination.
