I agree with you. We and our international partners reported this summer on deceptive cookie and consent form practices. We found that these practices were widespread. Complex language and psychological tools are being used to push people into making choices that are not good for them and that will make them reveal too much information.
So we need to better equip people to recognize such practices and challenge them. Organizations must also continue to do their part to make it easy for individuals to protect their privacy. It may never be easy, but it has to be easier than it is right now.
