How Privacy Became a Commodity for the Rich and Powerful
I think the article touches upon a key problem: even if some people are in principle willing to sacrifice some privacy in order to get a product for free, it should be required to state what data is shared with whom in clear human language (and not in a 20 page wall of legalese).The relation between the user and a service is now completely asymmetrical: it is hard to know what your data is used for. It does not help that the legalese often boils down to 'you will sell your soul'.
