You've missed the point. VCs don't order their companies spy on you because they're sadists. They do so because it's profitable.
If spying were illegal (e.g. if Congress had updated federal privacy law since 1988, when they passed the Video Privacy Protection Act), then services wouldn't spy on you, irrespective of whether they were VC backed or not.
