  Well, some of your fellow paranoids claim that - in the US - such
organizations are also selling your 'personal'/'private' [1] data.

  Face it, as AJL hints at, that information is just on a *different*
server - than Samsung's, Google's, etc. ad infinitum - over which you
*also* have *absolutely no* control.

  Sweet dreams!

[1] Scare quotes, because - contrary to popular FUD, urban legend,
hearsay, etc. - the big tech companies have very little *actual*
personal/private data.
