Just do it. People are so numbed to the idea of their data being sold that you're probably not going to get much money out of it.
- It would also be kind of nice for everyone to see what these people had on them and maybe how they got it.
- Seriously! The easiest way to defeat them is to remove the value they seek. And what better way to remove the value of a good in Capitalism than to start giving it away for free?
  Who cares if it's messy or embarrassing? That sounds like 60% of my day as a biological entity.
  
  Are you guys being sarcastic?
  
  Dunno about OP, but I, for one, am not.
