What agency does a lone sheep have against a pack of wolves? The issue is information asymmetry. The corporations have many more resources available to convince me to buy their product than I have when deciding how to spend my money. When I'm asked for permission to "share data with a third-party" I want to know who that third-party is? Will it be the same tomorrow as it is today? What will the third-party do with the PII? If the third-party is someone I trust and would value a working with then I might agree to it. But it's just as likely to be an organization I detest. The information is out there in press releases, journals, and legal documents. But collecting, compiling, and cross-referencing isn't something that can be done on the spot when that consent prompt is displayed. How am I supposed to make an informed decision on how to answer? Restricting what advertisers can do isn't taking agency away from me. It's giving me the support to better exercise my choice against better armed adversaries.
