Well, or as an alternative, we could regulate the collection, retention, and use of data by applications. Consumers can't meaningfully consent isn't meaningful when businesses don't have an obligation to disclose what data is being collected especially when it is described as “[including] aggregate usage data, technical session information and information about [my] hardware device.” Far more consumers would be outraged if each application or license agreement had to: a) provide a detailed list of information collected and transmitted to the vendor b) acknowledge each time that list of data changed c) had to do this for each business they dealt with on a regular basis
