“When I am about to engage with your service and you tell me you're going to mine my data to sell me things or even improve my healthcare, it should be my decision not the governments”

this part also is a problem - almost none of service providers EXPLICITLY informs user about data collection. there are some obscure/abstract phrases (if there are any) about increased quality of service and that’s it. For example linkedin is collecting my contact information harvested via native app without clear information where it will be used, so how I can make informed decision whether I want to use this service or not?

government regulation could at least enforce some rules for clear communication of infor collecting process or something like that.
