Meta has the same obligations to seek consent regardless Og how they obtain the data - that seems fair, no?

My unpopular opinion: they shouldn't seek consent, this should be completely opt in. Draconian laws should make this happen and flip this backward industry so everything is opposite.

  • What's the difference between consent and opt-in? Both require the user to actively say yes before it happens, no?

    • "Asking consent" is the popup that comes up to ask you if you'd like to be tracked.

      "Opt-in" is an option hidden somewhere in your "user preferences" page you have to actively go looking for.

  • “Opt in” is literally just in IT way of saying “seek consent”.

    You’re arguing for the same thing as the person you’re arguing against.
