Collective data rights may prevent large technologies from removing privacy
Individuals should not fight for their data privacy rights and should be held accountable for all consequences of their digital actions. Consider an analogy: people have the right to have drinking water, but they are not required to exercise that right every time they take a tap drink by checking the quality of the water through a pipe. Instead, regulatory bodies act on behalf of everyone to ensure that all of our water is safe. The same should be done with digital privacy: it is not the average user or has the power to protect or should be expected to do so.
