But you did consent every time you agree to some TOS you don't read. This is, of course, stretching the definition of consent, but legally you did.
That isn't how the collection of data works.
It's not like brokers wait around for you to sign up for something new.
Old data is resold, merged with new data, mixed, stolen, discovered, reformatted... etc...
Your actions of course do have an impact, but does changing your behavior prevent the outcome of your data being collected?
Not even close.
