That is because of both of your biases (which is understandable) and me, not specifying why I am asking.

"it would be astonishing if they _didn't_ sell my data."

If the "who" was answered with "... to Kim Jong Un, glorious leader of the DPRK" you might raise a brow. That is probably not what they meant.

Maybe the author meant "... to the legal buyer of the new company, as part of the content of the company"? Maybe they meant "... to anyone willing to pay a price, legally or illegally"?

I wondered what scenario the author had in mind. It's a reasonable question. To me, the implications are quite different. You might of course disagree.

Obviously to anyone willing to pay a price. Have you ever looked at those cookie banners? "In order to give you the best experience, we share your data with our 759 partners..."
