Sorry, but that doesn't seem "ridiculously sensitive" to me at all. Imagine if you went to Amazon.com and there was a button you could press to get it to pseudo-psychoanalyze you based on your purchases. People would rightly hate that! People probably ought to be sensitive to megacorps using buckets of algorithms to psychoanalyze them.

It's worse than that. Imagine if you went to Amazon.com and they were automatically pseudo-psychoanalyzing you based on your purchases, and there was a button to show their conclusions. And their fix was to remove the button.

And actually, the only hypothetical thing about this is the button. Amazon is definitely doing this (as is any other retailer of significant size), they're just smart enough to never reveal it to you directly.
