And I think we should get rid of the pop-ups.

Let the service do what it does with least permissions. If something doesn't work there should be a settings where you opt-in. Don't block my view, hoping I will click the dark pattern as you want me to, believing I don't get anything if I say no.

That's not informed consent. That's consent under duress.




I agree.

There will be some cases where you need to explain what's going on to a customer before they should be allowed to do stuff — medical, financial, probably some others too — but I think the whole thing is getting abused so much it can't stand, and the exceptions probably need a specific license already anyway, and that license can just also say "and you not only get to have the popup, you are required to".
