      Their source comes from it giving system access and that is what they want.

        Why would they want that? Are there any cases of it being abused?

              Of course, no unfathomably demonic corporate entity would ever choose to track users and target them like that, to for instance sell products with zero repressions due to a lobbying hate group bribing lawyers to make it legal

                Would be completely illegal in countries with gdpr. I’m a programmer and can tell you every company takes that super seriously.

                You have to agree to be tracked. Most people just do it without thinking.
