![Text from article:
But just because privacy doesn't fit well into a property rights framework, it doesn't follow that there's no way to do privacy well. We have lots of other rights frameworks besides property, and it's taken the concerted work of generations to get us to forget that these rights exist at all.
Imagine if our privacy regime was modeled on the human rights system we rely on when it comes to sex, bodily autonomy and consent. In this framework, no one is allowed to do anything to you unless you give your continuous, informed consent, which you can withdraw at any time. "I changed my mind" is a perfectly valid thing to say in the middle of a sexual encounter. It's not a violation of your contract. Quite the opposite: someone who ignores your withdrawal of consent is guilty of criminal assault.
[Begin highlight] If we apply a consent regime (not a property regime) to privacy rights, then the entire commercial surveillance industry would cease to exist. [End highlight] There's no way you can give "informed consent" to a laundry-list of terms of service that are as impenetrable as they are lengthy, and even if you did, you could withdraw that consent at any time, and Facebook et al would have to immediately stop processing your private information and disgorge it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gcp5ldm4uzm7cmwxbb7fjel2/bafkreidk6qmqmxcinvi2qwlyrlifca46vxbvw46o5et4x27zs25anvrzmi)
