I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

They also collect data about you and sell that as well.

No they don't. Why would they sell the data they use to target ads? If other corporations could just buy the data, they wouldn't need to pay google to target the ads, they'd just buy the data and do it themselves, Google isn't a data broker. They keep the data for them, it would be business suicide if they'd just sell all the data they collect.
