You can only have an exchange if both parties understand the terms and implications of the trade. I don't think that that's even approximately possible in this case, so the "exchange of value" idea isn't really doable.

Put differently, if data is being used as money, then it's a better idea to give people money for the data and then ask them to pay. Otherwise this is using data as scrip, which makes it an even worse idea than paying people for data :)
