We are trading our privacy for convenience and these companies know it. We, the consumers, have the power, if we stop using their programs these companies will fail, but unfortunately, due to the comfort created by these convenient tools, too many if not most have become passive.

At this point, we are at the end of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and extremely close to George Orwell's 1984, unless we truly recognize our power and fight back.

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"
