…which is a million times more damaging to you personally than Coca-Cola knowing you are(n’t) an attractive target to advertise to.

That depends on what your concern is. A half-naked photo (which wouldn't bother me, but for the sake of argument...) might be more damaging short term, but the other, when combined with all the other data collection, is more damaging long term.

The latter.

Why exactly would a "half naked image" of me go viral anyway?
