I'd always wondered how that shit worked.
If a non government funded organization gives you something without asking for money they are 100% of the time selling you as the product to someone else. Hell even if you give them money they'll still make you the product (See the recent ford patent for the always listening car that plays tailored ads.)
Not news to me. The blatently breaking the law is what I'm surprised about, what would get them to believe there were no consequences?
The same thing that would get cellular providers to sell location data to all cell phones unconsentually. Money https://www.zdnet.com/article/us-cell-carriers-selling-access-to-real-time-location-data/
Sigh. What is this life.
Just things for the revolutionary amongst us to consider in their op-sec.
