Silicon Valley software developers have a huge problem understanding consent. Look at most dialogs presented for things that companies want you to do:
Do you want to enable Feature X?
1. Yes
2. Ask me again later.
Somehow, "no" is just not in their vocabulary. Imagine if "Silicon Valley" was a guy asking a woman on a date, and the only options he understood were "yes" AND "ask again later".
I did not consent to being talked to by a stranger earlier today. I did not consent to any replies on this comment that might follow. I did not consent to the music from my neighbour this afternoon. I did not consent to being barked at by my other neighbour's dog yesterday. I did not consent to a list of things longer than I care to name.
It's all about expectations: consent for everything is unworkable.
Equating some basic telemetry to rape is idiotic and offensive.
