Cool, cool cool cool. Nothing dystopian about that at all.
Once upon a time, we understood that "putting something online" meant releasing it to the public in perpetuity. Any claim otherwise was gaslighting.
Facebook, et al, have somehow managed to convince people that privacy is something you can get back after they've coerced you to give it up.
It doesn't help that people don't actually care about privacy. The only people who think it's an issue are the ones looking at weird porn or buying drugs, and the tiny margin of people who actually understand that your personal information can be weaponized years later.
For the large swath of Liberal America, it's just a word. They install Alexa in their rooms, they carry their phones everywhere, they post their whole lives on social media. They don't feel any tangible risk to any of it, so it falls to the lowest priority to worry about, like heart disease and mental health.
