the ethical implications of using someone's data without explicit, informed consent for each specific use case is obviously problematic.

the data landscape is ever-evolving, and what was acceptable or even conceivable years ago may not be the same today.

companies should not only be transparent but also dynamically update users on how their data is being used and offer an option to opt-out.

ignoring this not only impacts individual users but also has broader societal implications.

consent fatigue is real; expecting users to keep track and delete their accounts across numerous platforms is neither practical nor ethical.

also, cancelling your account or laboriously deleting all of your content doesn't necessarily guarantee that all your data will be deleted on the backend... did you think your comment through at all?
