There is a contingency: GDPR. Use my data in ways I don't agree with and you are breaking the law. Best we can do in a world where information wants to and will be free, imo.

Consent is one legal basis for use of data under GDPR, but there are others.

Research use is one but you have to show that re-consenting is an unreasonable effort. Research use comes with a obligation to make sure data is anonymous and results have to be made public (for the common good).
