That’s what platforms already do - yet they are being slandered for not saving their users from themselves.

But people can't sue you and say FB gave some company access to my data unless FB actually does that without the user's knowledge. Lastly, under this new system, no one would be saying that FB is legally liable for a user explicitly granting access to a third party. Vast majority of people would lay the blame for that at the foot of the idiot user. Again, we're just trying to verify that the legislation reflects that very common sense view.
