I am willing to bet there is a large overlap between:
- people who think software that uses analytics is immorally stealing their data
- people who think decisions should be data driven and not just based on feelings
and that most of these people are not introspective (or smart) enough to see the contradiction here.

Outgroup heterogeneity + two buttons meme is bad + against fuck nuance + L + "I think you'll find it is a bit more complicated than that"
Ok with the snark out of the way:
I don't think that there's that much overlap between the two groups. Insofar as there is overlap, I expect the individuals to hold individually sort-of consistent opinions (e.g. they read the privacy policy for every software and decide individually).
I expect a common perspective to be that data analytics should be opt-in and then it's fine. Or in other scenarios there might be some hypocrisy (QS for me, but not for thee), but that's not inconsistent.
