That's how the new surveillance apparatus works, if you have been paying attention. By dodging actual surveillance and buying commercial data.

                        It used to be that convenience would cost extra money. Now, convenience costs data. Typically the easiest, most convenient products and services will require you to agree to policies and terms that include the ingestion and sharing of your data with whatever and whoever makes the most profit. Money is still the goal, but corporations can typically extract far more out of your data than they can out of you. Especially when you sign it over permanently, at no additional cost to them.

                        It's exhausting to do research into each and every thing that you do to ensure that you're taking the most private route. In some cases, you may have no choice at all. This is why privacy is a continuous process on a spectrum and not an outcome. There is no such thing as "perfect" privacy. There is only the effort that you choose to (or choose not to) put in to ensure that you remain within control of as much of your data as you possibly can.
