While that is correct, it is on an individual device basis and illegal. The owner of website owns all the data and can sell it anywhere, and it is legal.

Heeheheeheeheheheeheheeeeee "illegal"??????? are you kiddin moi?

But, yeah, technically, I think you're right. Too bad the Nasties donut give a frack about legality.

And also... Substack very nicely gives us COPYRIGHT over our own page.

I did not know that Subtack gives us the copyright. That is very significant. Does that mean they cannot use or sell the information without consent?

Google and Microsoft, contractually, own your email. I suspected it would be the same with Facebook, X, and all the others. It's good to know it's not that way with Substack.

It SHOULD mean that, and I think it still does.

A contract is not valid if one party has not agreed to it... Nobody can OWN your email unless you AGREE to that. Trickery to get you to agree makes any contract invalid. And if I'm wrong, then I SHOULD BE right.
