Their communication of it and silence after the outrage of users is one of the worst I've ever seen if this change was a necessity. Because if it was, fucking EXPLAIN it to users. Dafuck?

It could be a classic case of intentional overreach and then backpedalling to where they wanted to be. They didn't just remove the canary statements where they plegded not to sell data, they literally gave themselves the right to sell data and then put it back on the shelf - that way you're talking about the rights being back where they belong but not noticing the dead canary.
