We do the same thing already.
Mailing lists.
Advertisers.
Information goes to companies.
Corporate data.
Same thing as China is doing.
Been around a while.
Thing is, being online is not a requirement.
Never was.
Also, whoever runs the BBS / forum / social network / whatever
it is, owns your data and everything you put on there.
It's not a human right when you sign up to a service to have
privacy.
It's a tradeoff.
