Re: [proposals] Why would notice and consent not be adequate? (Notice and consent debate) (#5)

Hi @darobin,

It seems to me that the kind of consent mechanisms you describe (Belmont Principles, Institutional Review Board...) are well suited for things like medical research (e.g. "Are you willing to take an experimental treatment for a life-threatening disease?"), but that there's a big difference in complexity and consequences compared to web advertising (e.g. "If you click ok, your visit on nicefurnitures.example may be used to show you ads later on the web.").

Could you please expand on the use cases under:

?
