"we didn't consent to" is a 99.9% efficient indicator of an absolute dogshit perspective inbound, just full disconnect from reality, because imagining communal consent to the actions of others requires this

What on earth are you talking about? Nobody asked for Google to spy on its users so egregiously that legislation had to be drawn up to get them to seek “permission”, which they then strongarmed publishers into gaining via cookie banners. *Obviously* some PM asked for that… but so what?!

igi, because often there is an underlying user-ask. google spying lubricates all sorts of "the computer should just know" features that people like-to-claim-to-hate-while-using-them but i think more clearly "no one asked" papers over thinking about why a PM thought this was smart

yes! that one is worse because it's occasionally attached to an idea with legs and it's like "please don't, i was listening up to that point"

the optimal expression of communal nonconsent is a TOS violation to fully articulate, and most anything less is unserious; you will just get beat down. mass protests are the middle ground, not coopting consent to disclaim your own distaste
