Considering that massive companies are what's funding governing parties, it actually has more impact than you think. They'll have a lot of say in swaying legislation that could use your private information for their benefit.

But as is stated above, Google, Apple, Samsung, Facebook -- they're all doing it. If you have a smartphone or a facebook account you're already there.

The times are certainly getting more Orwellian, no doubt about that.
