A lot of people are going to rednote as a show of protest:

  • these people have had their data mined since they were babies, they've been taught by the market since birth that their data isn't something they should value
  • then they're told that it's bad that these other people can access their data, with no explanation as to why it's any different
  • while at the same time being told that it's totally fine for the folks who are already mining your data to sell it to the people who shouldn't have your data

So they're basically saying "you're lying, and your explanation contradicts your previous behavior, so I'm gonna do the exact opposite of what you want"
Again because they don't actually care about their data
