> Most people find these popups annoying. We don’t want to negotiate every time we encounter a new website. We’re used to social structures where consent is provided implicitly. A look of the eye and unspoken social contracts are the norm. But data is too brittle to capture this kind of nuance.

Hmm no, I disagree hugely.

You don't need approval to do basic things. You need it because when I open a news article that triggers a demand to share something about me to over 1500 different companies. Not an exaggeration. That requires consent and rightly so, because it's wildly outside of normal social contracts.
