  • Why do you get consent dialogs when you use services?
    • Why doesn't the service get consent dialogs about the terms that you assert if it wants to work with you?
    • Because software is expensive, and the creator of the software has the power to define terms.
      • "Don't like it? That's OK, just don't use it."
    • The software is scarce which means the software creator wins.
    • But we can flip that in a world where software is an afterthought.
