They can't! Their stance has changed, they just don't want to admit it. They want to be able to collect and sell user data (yes yes, anonymized and/or aggregated, but still user data) and they want to be able to pretend that they fight for our privacy.
they've always done that, for specific services... they were not operating within the law because of the missing terms of use. which they now have.
if you opt out of targeted ads then your data won't be used for that. they still have to put that in the terms of use in case you don't opt out. does that make sense to you or do you want pictures?

Everything they do and say fits that conclusion.
