    Users explicitly and willingly click on “I agree” to the Terms and Conditions. It might be undesirable, but it is consented

      Yes and no. While you are legally in the clear, in practice no one read those because of the huge amount of legalese.

      True consent is only obtainable if the person consenting understands what it means. Or else it’s just legal consent.

        “just legal consent”… I mean sure, but you know how stupid most people are, right? There is no way to get the type of consent you want from them for any slightly complex topic.

        Your point of view makes sense. In my opinion though, when you agree without reading the terms, you’re basically saying “you’re allowed to do whatever you want”

        You are consenting, not with this or that, but with anything regarding that product, probably because you trust the company, or you don’t care enough
