Unless you are a time traveler you had no way to know your data will be used this way in the future. The deal was only signed on March 10ht 2026.

idk, I assumed it would be used for every data-science application for all future time. the privacy policy was terrible.

Right, but assumption is not a reliable source. It was expected that the data will be sold to 3rd parties, but nobody knew how or when it will happen hence “unknowingly”.

Ever since I learned Pokemon Go was owed by Google I knew they were gathering data to sell, even if I didn’t know exactly what it would be used for yet.
