Most consent dialogs are CYA for the company.

· Bits and Bobs 6/9/25
  • Most consent dialogs are CYA for the company.
    • They show them not because they think users will want them, or even because they think some users might answer differently.
    • Even if 99.99% of users will answer 'Yes', they still show them.
    • Because they want to make sure that if something bad happens they can't be sued.
    • By asking permission they've moved the liability onto the user.
