It is almost incredible how advertising has contributed so goddamn much to the erosion of privacy. If data collection was used entirely to do things like improve aiding people (such as language learning. Many apps, like Duolingo and others absolutely use user data to improve their software and develop better ways of teaching languages) it wouldn't be so bad. But to sell people shit? That is just disgusting.
