Yes, I expect them to stand up for the rights of users. Why don't you?
Adding an empty age column in a file that already contained one for your full address doesn't violate anyone's rights.
It's complying in advance, when civil disobedience is called for.
The problem isn't the technical change itself; the problem is the motivation and context.
The premise for why it's being added however, subjectively does.
Which you know.
Also full address and name aren't mandatory, so it's not really a good comparison.
