You mean it's bad for users to be legally equiped to be able to request what data is collected from them ?
The user still needs to consent to an agreement with a list of all collected data for this to be legal. Otherwise, this is likely a violation of the user's privacy.
I believe they can't do that without explicitly stating such usage of data in terms of service.
It should be opt in. If they don't have permission they shouldn't be able to use your data.
Sure you can: "We do not share your data without requesting your explicit consent before hand"
So what's your legal basis for processing that data? It ain't consent
Businesses relying on collecting data without explicit permission should go out of business.
It could be as simple as 'using data that the user did not explicitly opt-into sharing'. Agreeing to terms&conditions doesn't count as it is not explicit.
your data can be public without your consent, what then ?
...users should jave the choice to not have their data used period.
