Privacy is a right as long as you don’t leave your private property. The moment you enter into a business relationship, you do so based on some mutually understood agreement.

Morally, it doesn’t matter if some people can’t afford paying a fee. They are free to start their own businesses, and try to make them profitable without reselling data and not charging anything. The market has showed that this is not possible.

I have no problem with company reselling my information if I get an equivalent or greater value back as a service. This is indeed true of Google services and I will gladly sign such contract explicitly. In fact, I would pay for my preferences to be sold to other clients, so that I don’t get inundated with irrelevant ads.

You may argue that explicit provisions should be added to the Terms & Conditions that outline how the data will be managed. They are probably already there, but nobody reads them.
