Ethical/moral questions around non-sexual consent.
If we were asked if we were okay with being tracked online, our emails having little I can't remember what they're called but essentially they can tell when you've opened the email, when algorithms can tell how long you've spent looking at something, whether you've clicked on something.

And yet we're making that compromise because people still want the ability to, quote, unquote tweet or thread. I suppose we will continue to consent or acquiesce as long as the desire outweighs the displeasure or discomfort. So it's weird that we call it consent or yeah, it's weird. I suppose technically it's not called that
