There needs to be an actionable, legal definition of consent as it applies to website privacy—my naive assumption is that there was, but clearly that&amp;#x27;s not true, or it&amp;#x27;s not good enough or actionable enough—and it needs to preclude implying users must positively grant consent to harvest, process, or transfer data to third parties, when in fact the dirty deeds have already been done in secret.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>thomastjeffery</author><text>There already is. There always has been! It&amp;#x27;s called fraud.&lt;p&gt;If you trick someone into signing a contract, then that contract is fraudulent.&lt;p&gt;If you tell someone that you will ask their permission before doing something; then silently claim you already obtained that permission in a prior contract, &lt;i&gt;you are committing fraud&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t know when our judicial system lost all of its teeth, but you sure as hell can&amp;#x27;t blame that on the citizens they are failing to defend.</text></comment>
