The phrase "data governance" is so hosed online. In a ~~better~~ perfect world, you would be able to keep up whatever data you felt like sharing and take down the data you didn't. (Obviously third party archives could exist regardless, but hopefully you get my point.)
This whole AI thing could, or at least should, open up conversations about being able to revoke consent in a corporate relationship sense, in the same way you can already revoke consent in a personal relationship sense.
Brazil did that. We have a new set of laws called LGPD that allows users to revoke the consent whenever they want - all data ever collected or provided to a service must be deleted. Not turned anonymous, not shared with Facebook, not "under the ToS it's ours" - deleted.
Heaven knows that ToS would allow companies to kill you unless the law stepped in.
