Ask HN: Agent access to chat data should require participant consent?

1•maxwellito•41m ago
With the recent rise of agents and users blind fully giving access to their data. I realised that much of my private conversation with inevitability be read by an agent. I have no control over it, I have no clue what this service will do with my data. But more than anything, I have no say about it. Space that were once "safe", years of conversation, very private content can now be accessed for Meta to build a better profile about me.

Everybody should be free to do whatever they want with their data, but this freedom must stop when it reach other people's data.

Can we still have space where everything we say or do won't be processed and analysed? Or it's a lost battle?
