Why on earth would a service get shut down for allowing consenting adults to opt into an agreement that allows anonymized data to be shared in a compliant way?
They wouldn't 'get shut down' for it, but if the service was transparent about what they were doing people would likely unsubscribe/cease to sign up. It really depends if anyone is prepared to take them to task on it.
> 'consenting adults'
Are you consenting if you don't know what you're consenting to.
> anonymized data
Widely understood that anonymized data is bullshit, which is why the term "de-anonymized" exists. It's especially bullshit when there are no 'standards' as to what constitutes it.
Deciding not to read the terms of service isn't the same as being in a situation without transparency.
The beef industry would also collapse if all the meat-eaters who thought killing animals wasn't ideal in principle had to watch the cow get killed before every meal.
Now we know what they are doing it and how. I hope they get shutdown within the aftermath of this story.
