Don't know if you're sarcastic, but I prefer privacy related issues like this to be surfaced and would call it morally wrong not doing so.

There would be no privacy issues if the users did not give up that private data willingly in the first place. A-ok with random company on the internet having access to it, but suddenly other random parties exploiting it are "creepy"? It was being shared with advertisers and analytics providers anyway.

That doesn't make it acceptable in any way.
