It’s so opaque though. Most of the time I have no idea what I’m really consenting to. Every website has a different way of asking, a different way of describing what it’s asking consent for. It often feels like the list of permissions being asked for is way more than what is necessary. Compare that to reading a magazine: - Step 1 - open - Step 2 - read It’s night and day. Eventually it will be too difficult to use the web. I’m think people who make a living from building for the web have not grasped the severity of the problem. If you worked in the movie business and someone said that eventually it would be too difficult to watch a movie, because you would have to give permission left right and centre, you would be worried because that’s bad for business. Your viewers will eventuakly go do something else. Well that’s what’s happening on the web.
