I think this is all we can do when we utilize technology hardware and services from these companies. As soon as we create an account, our data is consumed. So we have to trust the holder to take caution with that data.
Company after company, time and time again, prove to us they can't be completely trusted. But that is the risk we assume by enjoying the devices and services we enjoy.
