One could argue simply posting something online is consent, especially when in a publicly accessible location.
If you post something on Twitter, and someone else screenshots and posts it elsewhere, are they “violating consent” what if that person was Donald Trump or some other ghoul saying some crazy shit. Would you have the same reservations?
This seems like an extreme take to me on what communication and consent mean on the internet.

That’s exactly the argument of the companies slurping up online data. The problem is that not explicitly revoking consent ≠ granting consent. It’s the same argument employed by rapists. “They didn’t say no…” and obviously, we recognize that extreme example as fallacious reasoning (specifically Denying the Antecedent).
Let C be “denial of consent.”
Let L be “use by LLMs.”
C => !L ✅
!C => L ❌
If I post something online, I’m not defacto granting that I want a machine or a corporation using those words for their gain, and that likewise applies to anyone who does not expressly grant consent to use their online interactions for someone else’s profit.
Are we really comparing commenting online to rape now? That’s a huge leap
These are public sites that are used for free I don’t think there’s really any expectation of privacy, additional translation software is far from a nefarious thing.
