      They won't. They'll just sell their private data.

      As someone who tried to make a living caring about people's privacy, people don't care. The only time they pretend to is when they need to explain why they buy the new iphone pro model yearly (but they'd turn on a dime if apple said "we're building an ad platform! Look how pretty our ads are!")
