> Except that, still, to this day, most sexual consent is assumed, not explicit

Did you miss my sarcastic little requote blurb that stated exactly that? Or do you normally rephrase the exact same point with added ad hominem attacks, and somehow frame it as a counterpoint?

> The same way, most tech privacy consent is assumed, not explicit.

And yet, you still have a right to it. In both instances.

What is the ad hominem attack here?

Anyways, the "right" you have to explicit sexual consent is not really there. In that, you cannot go to court and say "I said no" and get any meaningful damages or a conviction without other evidence. Similarly, courts treat these popups as essentially unreadable and you cannot go to court and say "They clicked "Allow"" and get away with anything unreasonable.
