They will find a way to sell it eventually. The data is worth so much money that the temptation is just too high.
The only way out is see is to make the data availability to marketers a *service*, rather than a product. Do marketers really want your *personal* information or is what they really want the ability to target advertising to you based on your demographics, interests and behaviors? Doing the latter does not necessarily mean you have to possess the former.
What if Google or Facebook only provided their customers (i.e. the marketers, not us) with a query interface?

I have to turn my head or move my hand to a separate, physical location in space rather than doing a virtual switch on screen.
If e-readers were to become cheaper and thinner, I'd have a bunch of them on my desk too.
Yes. No real world crook would take the time to write a virus with a sexy female voice that says "Releasing deadly virus in... FIVE seconds...". Hollywood had it wrong all the way back from the time they decided that there is some Terrorist Bombers' Guild that has standardized the color coding of bomb wiring.
