Consent and Transparency: Rebuilding Trust in the Digital Exchange

In the early days of the internet, the idea of “informed consent” seemed simple: tell people what data you’re collecting, and let them choose whether to proceed. But as digital systems grew more complex — and data collection became more passive, predictive, and opaque — consent became less meaningful. Today, it often functions as a legal shield instead of a genuine choice.
