It was by choice. You weren't born with an account.

Not taking personal responsibility for the rise of the ubiquity of these terrible online services (WhatsApp users, I'm looking at you) is a huge part of the problem. Pretending that you didn't opt-in is a lie you've told yourself; you shouldn't propagate that lie to others in society.

This comes across as "If you haven't read every word of all the terms of use, privacy policy, and any other legal documents of not only the initial company you interacted with, but of all their second party companies, and their services, and their services, until you've researched the entire chain of partners who could potentially have something to do with your transaction, then you are obviously complicit in everything all those companies chose to do and you have no grounds for complaint."

While you may be literally true, the reality of this economic situation is full of far more gray area than you allow for.

If this confrontational, extrermist position is intended to try and wake people up to all this, I fear your message is outweighed by your snark.

And if you don't care about that, then I've wasted as much of my breath as you have yours.
