How about "Neither my intellectual work nor my personal data may be used
without my permission?"

People would still have all the freedom they need - they obviously don't
need the freedom to use anyone else's intellectual work or personal data.

Just as the 1790 US Copyright act didn't abridge "freedom of speech" no
doubt the granting of a new privilege to prohibit unauthorised utilisation
or dissemination of personal data will also be recognised not to abridge
"freedom of speech".

This "freedom of speech" thingy is jolly accommodating.
