You seem to be arguing as though the current situation is preferable and consumers just need to be convinced of that.<p>Firstly, the user is not in control of the contract.  They have no realistic means of modification or exerting pressure, nor resisting or requiring changes.  Take it or leave it is not control.<p>Secondly.  You are likely aware of the permissions systems being introduced on modern smartphones.  This is an interesting step towards inverting the control of the device back towards the user.<p>Similar steps can be made in other areas. CNN training is certainly a different action to usage, and has different privacy implications, so they should obtain permissions independently.<p>Note how these systems are not permission forever, but permission for now.  Handling this sort of data access is a pain, but it isn&#x27;t actually hard.
