This honestly deserves a full article (well, the whole topic of consent) but I’m working on other things at the moment.
Here’s the thing, you can’t retroactively revoke consent. Humans are entirely unable to manipulate time. The past is done, and the consequences follow. From a legal standpoint, you might be able to argue that you were inadequately informed, or flatly defrauded. You might be able to gain some compensation for that, but you have to prove it. You might be able to argue that you were incapable of giving informed consent, and again, you would have to prove that.
But regret is neither proof nor justification. Learn from mistakes and move forward. Caveat emptor.
