- I think communicating consent is hopeless and even a bad idea.
Advertisers will never entirely honor anything but "tell me more."
The only person who can be trusted to honor consent is the end user.
might *consult* my consent - including (in a particular order):
My organisation, my ISP, a legitimate mass mailer, the courts.
The needs of the courts to determine your consent have nothing to do
with network protocols, the IETF, or the IRTF. That extreme case
illustrates some problems with the other cases.
And why (I know I shouldn't bite) a "bad idea"?
It's a bad idea because saying "ok, you're ok but no thanks" will get
you more spam. Any expression sent to almost any mass mailer, no
matter how legitimate, is likely to be "checked," as in "6 months
(weeks, days, or hours) ago you said you didn't want to hear everything
from us. surely you've changed your mind?"
