They’ll get people to click yes. None of these consent directed methods work. People aren’t reading or understanding what’s going on. This is like asking people to be chemistry experts so they can test and manage to buy safe food. https://twitter.com/ashk4n/status/1093507102956490752 …

Yeah, this is basically just an argument that GDPR opens the door for an activist to shape the law to change FB's business model. Why not just aim at the business model directly instead of going through this user-consent kludge that is tilted towards the powerful?

Well, it's because the EU took up the privacy framing aggressively. But they did that because there is serious popular desire in the EU for those type of privacy safeguards -- there are a lot of better ways to fight Facebook but this is pretty democratically motivated IMO.

Have just written longer thread on this - but if Max’s case succeeds, FB won’t be able to require consent in return either for Facebook, or for extra services, unless the data is a necessary part of those services being carried out. That would be a dagger in FB’s heart.

Maybe. Or FB would figure out a way to get users to consent anyway.

"Consent" may be among the most misunderstood&abused principles in EU data protection law;under GDPR to be valid it must be "specific, informed and freely given"-as a legal basis it should be used sparingly. Current approaches to be tested early enforcement.Dont give up just yet.

Yes, & adds it has to be as easy to withdraw consent as to give it (A7.3), no pre-filled checkboxes (R32), and it has to unambiguous. None of this applies to most of the current crop of "consent banners"
