Just like Facebook... companies forcing / tricking users into dropping guard / sharing, opening themselves to abuse by corp and others from public / online, and raping them for profit when they're most vulnerable... in the social nets. Huge potential for new paid / donation / cryptocurrency endowment based (not "free" dataselling) online services that actually stand for privacy.
