It should be illegal to opt people in to this.

Imagine if your bank just opted you in to renting out your mortgaged home.

Abusing your personal data like that should be a crime in basically all jurisdictions.

it probably is illegal in some countries, the problem is google almost always goes by a do it and see if you get in trouble instead of just following laws.
