Unfortunately ignorance of the masses (myself included, and I try to stay current) let's them get away with this stuff.
Too many people say "well, I don't do anything wrong, so why be concerned", as if people have never been railroaded before (Ruby Ridge anyone?).
Seeing the kind of data I know is known about me is terrifying, and I've been working for years to reduce it. My current effort is a final degoogle.

I wouldn't really classify Ruby ridge as a rail-roading.
