Well yeah but you guys are already used to paying data collection agencies for protection just so you can have some basic quality of privacy (like not getting sales calls or having your identity stolen).

I imagine that paying a tech giant for it is just the logical next step.

If Apple came out with a paid service that said "I'll make sure those other companies don't have your data" it would sell like hotcakes and nobody would think twice about the irony.
