As per GDPR it is the data collector who has to reason why he needs that data, not the user who has to defend his privacy. The collector has to clearly articulate what is collected, how it is used and who processes said data. And the user has to accept that s before the collector can do anything.

While I understand that the US is not the EU and there is no GDPR, I firmly believe the GDPR enforces good rules in favour of the consumer. Hence, any company that does differently - albeit legal - acts morally despicable. Americans should follow that thought more, than very often put that burden of defense unto the people.
