It doesn't look like it solves the problem.

CODA (2021) is a great film I'd recommend that touches on that (stands for Children of Deaf Adults).

Shout-out to the recent reboot of Connections (1987), Connections with James Burke [0], for threading cabinets of curiosities through museums and finally ending with the internet in episode 3, "In the Net".

After speaking with an EU Data Protection Commissioner (IANAL), it is my understanding that in the EU this would not be just your opinion, but also the law. Due to the power imbalance between you and your employer, it is not possible to consent to data collection, unless that data collection is governed by some other law.
A quick search also yielded this:

I'd like to imagine a future where I can stream fractions of a cent per minute/hour to the video provider or creator in exchange for consumption of that content. That way I only pay for however much I actually consume and the platform doesn't have to serve me ads to be profitable or sustainable. This could even work without needing to register for an account, using the HTTP 402 Payment Required response status code that already exists [0][1], something your browser could handle in the background.

It's actually quite amusing asking it to give you a list of consonants in which Greek words can end in, and then example words for each. It's pretty much all hallucination and then it tries to gaslight you.

If the author thought about all this in an essay, you can bet Apple did too in their many years working on this. Whether they managed to come up with proper solutions to these issues is another matter, but I'd be hard-pressed to think they've not been acutely aware of all of this and actively worked on it.
