> nobody knows what it means The definition of consent is provided here. [0] There are clear application guidelines. To me it takes being intentionally obtuse or malicious in the interpretation when reading the text to come to the conclusion "I don't know what it means so I'll do the thing that benefits me". Imagine blowing through a stop sign and trying to explain that you don't know what it means, the Earth is moving so you could never really be in compliance. You're not wrong but it's clear that your incompliance doesn't come from a place of honest misunderstanding. > Mandating that huge populations spend time to make informed case by case decisions It's mandating that the user is given the tools to provide informed consent, not that they must use them properly. If you need to know what it means, the text is clear. If not and never needed to read it, it's easy to conclude it's hard, impossible even.
