   rational decision

   Not paying much attention to stated privacy policies is a rational decision, because: (1) there's not a lot of reason to trust them since there's almost no enforcement; (2) there's not a lot of reason to trust them since the policies can always be changed, especially if the company changes hands; (3) as the article points out, the policies are written in a weasly way, so they don't mean much anyway. In short, most people probably figure: "The company is gonna trash my privacy if they want regardless of what the policy says, so I just have to decide if what they offer is worth it."
