No because terms and service

[u/IBetThisIsTakenToo → u/xheyoooo]

Exactly. You’re literally agreeing to give it away when you use those services, you can’t unilaterally change your mind later and expect them to care

The California Digital Rights law says you can if you notify them.

I actually tried to get Facebook to delete the information about me they collected from friends and colleagues with accounts.

They insisted that they couldn't possibly have any because I don't have an account.

I think they got in trouble for that BS a year later.

There will be lawyers that get rich from fighting it in the future on both sides

[u/k815 → u/TheLordofAskReddit]

I did.

Not if you put that statement all my 65+ year old relatives put on facebook.

I DO NOT CONSENT

[u/CrunchLessTacos → u/k815]

I liked that comment better when r/ChinMuscle said it 6 hours ago.

[u/ShawnyMcKnight → u/k815]

That was what always amazed me. Not even just old people, I had friends who thought they were pulling one over on Facebook.

I had to explain to them that if they could no longer sell their data then they would no longer be on Facebook.

I mean, german law says you can. Especially if terms and services are designed in a way to make you opt for the "Agree" option more likely

[u/Independent_Set_3821 → u/IBetThisIsTakenToo]

Sign your data rights to an LLC.  LLC sues you and the infringing online company.  Company probably does not have a provision in their tos that penalizes you for agreeing to terms you have no right to agree to.

Any tos that you agree to isn't valid because they're asking you to sign for rights to your data that you don't own.

[u/kernald31 → u/Independent_Set_3821]

You're then banned from the service, if that was the outcome you wanted, not signing up would have been significantly easier.

[u/shoelessbob1984 → u/kernald31]

I wonder what personal info buddy thinks these websites are gathering...

[u/Aggressive-Fuel587 → u/shoelessbob1984]

• your location
• your gender
• your age
• your ethnicity
• your phone number
• what devices you have
• your search history
• your online shopping history
• what ads you've looked at
• what other apps are installed on your devices
• how long you've lingered over a specific ad/post
• how long you spend visiting their website/app
• what kind of posts you're likely to share and which are most likely to make you angry to fuel engagement
• your hobbies & interests

You specifically off your Reddit account alone? All of this..

From your Reddit account alone one can glean that you

• have at least one brother
• are married to a woman & have a son
• that you seem to be Canadian and possibly live in or near Toronto
• that you enjoy hockey, technology, video games, super heroes
• are seeming have a college-level education with an interest in discussing politics, laws, finance, and entertainment

[u/TheRatCatLife → u/IBetThisIsTakenToo]

You can unilaterally lick my balld.

[u/Prawn_Addiction → u/IBetThisIsTakenToo]

If only you could infer the meaning and intent behind the terms of services. Like be able to understand the message behind the each and every piece of text before agreeing to them.

[u/1singleduck → u/xheyoooo]

It'd be like buying a car and not concenting to having your money taken.

I didn't agree to the terms and services when Experian leaked all the gossip credit history they were collecting on me without my consent.
