I kind of get your point however I believe that the inconvenience of having to make decisions based on actual information is preferable to implicitly trusting any country or company that the store chooses to use, especially in the IT case where most of the time (if you live in EU) you also have to agree that your information
should be handled and protected by a foreign power (which have showned itself to be hostile on several occasions, it&#x27;s bascily the same as US citizens trusting there personal data to russia) with no legal obligations towards you.<p>The big issue is the fact that we have become accustomed to being relived of both
the choice and the information about which choices thats been made for us. 
Which of course makes us a bit lazy since it&#x27;s hard to make informed choices which probably is going to make a system like the one you described a hassle to implement but id say it&#x27;s worth it to bring back at least a small resemblance of choice and control of your own information.
