I am a bit worried about the number of people here who, like me, are fairly recent arrivals, and who are using the so-called 'extreme' and 'unreasonable' reactions to them wanting to 'hack' the fediverse to write off the whole conversation around consent as somehow not relevant.
The NSA monitors anything you do on the internet anyway, so why are you complaining about tech bros wanting to harvest out in the open, yada yada.
It seems we need to define what consent actually is.
AGAIN.

That's it. No ifs, no buts.
The user must understand what they are giving consent for, and the scope for which their consent is valid.
They must enthusiastic, wholly onboard with the decision, not begrudgingly agreeing to it because they feel like they have no other choice.
And they must be able to revoke that consent at any time, whether five minutes from now, or five years in the future.

The scope includes who owns and operates the service or product. If you want to be acquired, you need to ask for their consent again.
User consent is NOT transferrable, period, no matter what modern terms of service claim.

It's the Western Acquisition, claiming ownership without permission.

It's dishonest as fuck, and no different from colonial attitudes towards natural resource.
