Data harvesting is one of the core value propositions for many of these companies (from the investor's perspective).
Companies that built their models on public data and illegal scraping/copyrighted works, amassing massive datasets on the most private aspects of countless individuals, and creating a huge bubble with potentially humongous implications upon implosion. Oh, and, increasing wealth concentration and inequality by an incredible amount.
The future is here.
I think there will eventually be pushback from companies that want to keep their IP secrets. The current standard of "we dont train on your data" but we summarize all your input and output, meaning its not your data anymore and we can train on that.
