I for one don't like this, and hope that there is an opt-out feature.

Just because my information is somewhat public in several places (not Facebook) does not mean I want it aggregated and data mined for commercial and advertising purposes.

It's my opinion that once you put information on the internet it is public domain and anyone who wishes to mine it is free to do so. The burden of keeping yourself private lies with you.

I agree with you, the problem here is that being connected on G+, facebook or linkedin to people going on Ark, now Ark will have a lot of info on me that was only available partly to each website. This kind of bothers me.

That is your opinion.

What about companies that resell your data and publish it without your knowledge through a convoluted series of T&Cs?
