Legitimate

Jeremy noticed that an Instagram
notification said:

we’ll now rely on the legal basis called legitimate interests for using your information to develop and improve AI

That's not by any means reasonably what the word legitimate means, is it?

It's unfortunate many interesting people and businesses can mostly or only be followed on Instagram, as that's pretty much why I still keep an account. This feels like the social media equivalent of being kept hostage.
