There is no technical solution to this problem. First parties can just lie or use dark patterns to gain permission.

  Look, if some authority finds your personal information on some server, and they can't produce your digital signature on a contract which says that the company can keep the information from some date to some other date, then they are in violation. It is simply not possible to lie about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

    Now every person needs to have a government-verified signing key, and suddenly consent given on disparate sites can be trivially linked to the same public key that verifies it...

      Why does there need to be only one public key per user? The authorities only have to look at the leaked information, contact you, and ask you to generate proof that you signed the contract.
