there hasn't been real privacy on the web anyway. the only thing this changes is who your data goes too. i trust private companies trying to make a buck off me more than i do government agencies that this data went to already. so as far as i am concerned this isn't a problem at all. the true problem happened a long time ago.

The difference is the client-provider relationship. Before, the product was the internet or mobile access service, and the customer was you. You pay for a service, you receive the service. If you are happy, you keep paying. If you become unhappy, you switch service providers and pay someone else instead. You are the customer, and the service provided is the product sold.
Now, you are no longer the customer. The one paying for your aggregated information is the customer. You are the product. If you are unhappy with the service, the provider couldn't care less, as long as the actual customer, the one paying for your emails, text messages, photos, locations, habbits, etc., is happy. If the customer is happy, the customer continues to pay, and the provider continues to provide the service. Information is the service, the buyer is the customer, and you are the product. The actual internet access service is no longer the product, but has become the machine that manufactures the product.
We want Obamacare revoked and budgets slashed, and they waste their majority on this.

I'm sure to be down voted but.... most Americans don't care because they have nothing to hide. And politicians know this.
