"but they will "SELL IT" to the highest bidder,"
Wrong. They know the real value is in the information themselves. They will sell the *use* of data through their tools only, not the real data. You'll have to pay them every time you need to use them.
I'm sure FB was much angrier because CA was able to steal its valuable information FB had slurped than CA using them for their nefarious purpose.
Who control the information can control people...
