Now I would also like a ban on using my personal data to train an AI model. Soon we'll get ads based on ai prediction based on our personal data as an indirect way to still do the same things.

Nowadays, you have to assume your personal data being used to train an AI model is the cost of signing up to any free website unless they explicitly tell you otherwise.

Right. That's the point. Let's make that illegal. The same way you can't sign a contract to give away any other rights.

Sounds a bit too close to a black mirror episode to me. The one with the dating site.

Yeah, if they can, they will.
