If that were the case it would be considered an unethical research design, as informed consent needs to be gained first. Any decent PhD programme would stop that dead in its tracks at the research design approval stage (at UK universities I’m familiar with, fairly high level ethical approval is needed to begin data collection).

The software industry, on the other hand, has no such restrictions, as we learnt from Facebook’s experiments on its users: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/02/facebook-sorry-secret-psychological-experiment-users
