Advertisers will never entirely honor anything but "tell me more."
This is bogus. It's like saying because there are hackers out there,
all programmers can't be trusted. Let's use an even wider brush for the
painting, and simply go for the entire human race in one swath.
Smart advertisers have figured out that stuffing messages down user's
throats when they don't want them makes them a lot more likely to buy
your products (yeah, right).
Please don't assume that since some sites (like real) are deceptive in
how they do their consent management and others are outright frauds
that everyone's like that. that simply polarizes a discussion into
camps that fight when cooperation is in fact needed.
There's probably too much in the way of "voice from the mount"
assertions on this list.
