I saw a Mastodon tweet a while ago, which went something like:

Do tech companies understand consent?:

- [ ] Yes

- [ ] Ask me again in a few days

>If you don't want to provide that access, you still don't need to – you can simply tap remind me later once a month

This. We must change laws that the above field is not considered as given consent. And while we are at it, we must change "silence is agreement" to "silence is disagreement". This applies to change of ToS, price increases etc. That means if I don't click a link with a button "I agree", the ToS change is not accepted - that means they have to cancel/delete my account.
