What's consideration in EULA?
As I interpret I don't think Swedish consumer contract law allows what you describe to matter anyway, and since the GDPR requires free consent it becomes more dubious, so obvious dataintrång.
This isn't data rights though, this is that the same law that prohibits people from hacking into your computer is applicable to people doing other things with it in unpermitted ways.
Basically, a program that exfiltrates data without permission is treated no different from a rootkit, legally.
I think you might have misunderstood my meaning. I don't mean a right to use my own data. I mean a right to actually own that data in the sense that others cannot collect and sell it without my consent and proper compensation based on revenue generated by the collector.
But then we're talking about website tracking, things like that, not actual exfiltration of stored data?
A major problem is, that even if I don't click "agree" to EULAs, I have no idea if the companies think I did or not. Also, what prevents someone else from "agreeing" on my behalf without my permission; which apparently happens often when sales people set for their new owners (which I witnessed when I was with my mother when she purchased a new car).
