I wrote an essay for school on this, and the central thrust was that we can apply feminist theories of informed consent and adaptive preferences to digital consent, and the waters are very, very murky, especially when that consent is manipulated.
If I consent to something, fully believing it is in my best interest, it can still be said my consent is not legitimate in certain circumstances. For example, if an abuse victim is gaslit into beliving their abuser is the only person who could ever love them. The applications to the digital world, I hope, are apparent.
For more information, I highly reccomend Serene J. Khader's
"Adaptive Preferences and Women’s Empowerment."
