Explicit consent can only be given if a person fully understands what they're agreeing to. The weight of evidence suggests that once personal identifying information is out in the wild it can't be retracted.
While the banks, police, and media continue to refer to such a concept as identity theft, I don't believe it's possible for anyone to give explicit consent to their data being leaked and used by people with ill-will.
Edit: leaked, or intentionally sold to bad actors. Or the parties collecting the data in the first place are bad actors themselves.
Is this possible?
