We are giving our consent...either by silence or by complacency. All this BS about private data and consent for treatment of private data is a way of having people to be "forced" to give consent....most people don't even read, they just click the button to be able to do what they want.

Well, technically, in most legal systems, you can't consent under duress, so on a moral level, you could consider all of that null and void 🤷♂️
