I have the complete opposite impression. Sure, Facebook an co. do partially depend on people oversharing. But people being careful about their data have seriously turned down their expectations. 10-15 years ago it would be a huge scandal if some software phoned home your software configuration. Today people are ok with unique advertising IDs.
Some say data protection today inhibits development. I do not think there is much merit to arguments of this kind.
I don't even believe the most important innovations wouldn't have been possible with more data protection at all and that includes huge datasets to feed AI.
Maybe the market for data being sold would be smaller. But that isn't innovation really.
