The same way that if I make an online purchase and the vendor sells my credit card number, it's an invasion of my privacy. Willingly giving up information does not necessarily mean it can or should be used for any purpose.
I mean I can't remember seeing rows of tablets on sale at my local electronics store prior to the iPad but now every company and his dog seems to have a tablet product. In fact the only tablets I remember hearing about before the iPad were laptops with touchscreens and huge price tags slapped on."
Those tablets were real computers rather than oversized phones
My take on Last Thursdayism is, if the entire universe was created with an elaborate false history, than physics is interested in studying the details of that false history. This doesn't actually change the experimental practice, it just adds an unnecessary complication to the theoretical interpretation.
