Right now, at the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, we are exploring ways to fix that problem.
As I said in my opening remarks, we considered the possibility of having standard parameters to make sure that, as soon as people visit a site, be it a social media or other site, the same options are always presented to them, where possible. That's one idea.
We are also working on a report in which we examine ways to present users with options in a much clearer fashion that requires less effort from young and old alike, particularly for those accessing app-based services.
There are steps, then, that can be taken to make things better. That said, problems in this area persist around informed and valid consent, but I don't think that's a reason to throw in the towel. The principle is sound, so we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
