This could be true and false in some circumstances I think. For example if I give a phone number to someone and specifically ask them not to share it, and in another situation where I allow a photo to be taken with the express terms that it is not shared online or with any other person... and then someone installs an app like messenger and that app sucks in all contact info and starts uploading photos in the background - sure you could say that they gave permission to share all that data, but I think a majority of people are not understanding what all those permissions mean.

I believe there are a lot of people who have expectations in the way that apps would use data and they are being duped partially by group trust trust / ignorance.

I have spoken to many people who do not understand the terms of use for instagram, and after discussions about such they start to question if they are going to allow their children to continue to use it. I think this is common with many apps and web sites - people have an expectation that video of them taken at target is going to used in certain ways that maintain privacy - not that target it going to be taking images and videos of their kids and selling it off to people behind their back.

These are just a few examples where I think you could say technically it's true, but actually being are being defrauded or some other term, which is essentially stealing from people based on their ignorance.
