They sell your info, already, to anyone who wants it. When I bought my
last Samsung product (as in, never buying another one), I registered it
with a unique name similar, but different, to my real name.

I get a shit-ton of spam (virtual and physical) to that fake name.

On the other hand, Google's never sold my info to anyone.
