Consent is a voluntary agreement to something. Port scanning is definitely not something I would expect when browsing the web (And based on the amount of upvotes on the last thread, not something most of HN would expect), so how can I be consenting to it without knowing about it?

Plenty of online services, web or otherwise, use port scans as a means to detect such things as open proxies or open MTAs.
