The silicon valley model of consent

These companies are laughable - got asked if i thought google valued my privacy while being forced a questionnare for no reason today. 😭

Would you like to import your contacts?

Yes
Not now (we will ask again next week)

"Maybe Later". If I've clicked that twice it means "No. Never." Take note!

I disagree in theory. In practice of course if there's no "never" option you can't distinguish between the two.

Silicon Valley is great at scoping out how much people will tolerate to make things slightly easier in the short term.

Only if there is a button for never selecting a definitive answer and just constantly pressing remind me in 3 days.
