Methusala, can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Your inability to comprehend that there can be more than one issue to be concerned about, when it comes to corporations collecting data on people makes me think not.
Yes, Apple might sell your data. They reserve the right to share it. Once acquired it is THEIR property. "...anyone who cares about their rights" refers to that data being sold, to be used against someone in a way that they did not anticipate. Same for the remark about the fourth amendment, in light of the issue with the Michigan State Police d/ling data from peoples' smart phones.
You failed to show where I claimed that corporate data mining and profiling is illegal. Though you asserted it, I never said any such thing.
You seem to have a rabid opposition to anyone even considering the issue of protecting personal information and I find that really strange. It's one thing for someone not to care, it's another to get bent out of shape over those who do. I really don't care what you do with your personal info. You can mail it to the entire list of the Fortune Five Hundred for all I care.
