Only if they can use it for ads which was blocked in this discussion.

Of course in the real world odds are they can't block ads perfectly and thus the data has value.

    The ad blocking might work however

    1) Their customers (i.e. advertisers) don't necessarily know that, and they only care about aggregate

    2) They still have your data which can be sold off to others who have other ways of pushing ads to you
