Why though? What expectation of privacy do you have for a moderated public platform? Why is this substantially different than ingame chat logs?
Its not black and white.
Here’s a thought experiment: since streets are public places, would you be willing to wear a lapel mic every time you leave your house that records everything you say in public and gives access to every megacorporation and government?
Does that make you feel kind of weird? Well this is the same situation. Just because its a public place, doesn’t mean things can’t still feel invasive.
Sorry to point this out, but comparing a game chat in which you agree to a strict TOS governing your behaviors and permitted monitoring is not the same as comparing speech a person can freely engage in on the street. The former very much IS literally spelled out in black and white— the latter is far more left to interpretation by several layers of legal entities and enforcement.
I’m not trying to be contrarian; these issues are simply more complex that you’re making them out to be.
It isn’t, I don’t use in game chats.
Then you don’t understand the scope or nature of the problem trying to be solved.
No, I just refuse to have some shitty company monitoring me when I’m trying to be relaxed and have fun. It’s bad enough you can’t do shit online without invasive bullshit, but I’ll be fucked if I’m going to deal with it when I’m playing a game.
Idgaf what anyone else is doing or not doing, that’s not my problem.
If you don’t use it then how is it a big deal if it’s monitored?
That’s why I don’t use them. I outright object to it on principle.

How long until information from our conversations is recorded and sold to data firms that will in turn use it to sell to us, or hacked and personal conversations exposed.

That’s a separate problem, though. I would of course oppose that.
