>the app is no longer coercing the user to do anything

The usual app in fact never coerces anyone, it trades access to the app's services for a user's private data: it is not going to arrest/kill/hurt/torture/destroy anyone, anyone's friends and relatives or anyone's property. That's why I call it a greenmail, not a blackmail. And I think it should be prevented, by putting in a standard a way to cheat a greenmailing app.
