Dissenting isn’t the same as prevention

See below – maybe this is an opportunity for Fitbit? A smart watch that measures key vital signs, sends these to an app on your phone and then decides when you’re in the consenting zone. That’d take the uncertainty out of the situation!

My guess is that Clemetine only relents to consent, reluctantly, and then with regrets.

While I’m on the subject I did not consent or even relent to fill out a census form last night. To be honest I completely forgot and in any case I had decided that I’d rather pay a fine than do the work for a lazy government department that would have been better placed to get the data off Facebook, Google and the ATO.
