When MyTerms succeeds, CMP—Consent Management Platforms—will mean Contract Management Platforms.

From the Annals of Enshittification

Seth Godin on The Amazon Tax: "Amazon is stealing from the customers they said they were here to serve."

And here we are

JA Westenberg in The Intellectual Circle Jerk and Why We Can't Stop, subtitled The Citation Shell Game: "You don’t build your audience by making your audience feel like they’ve got some bloody hard work to do; you build an audience by making people feel like they’re already a murder of geniuses, and by flattering their existing positions." The conclusion:

The obvious answer is to read people you disagree with. That’s true but insufficient, because most people who think they’re doing this are actually reading the version of the opposing view that their community has already refuted. The strawman tour. The more useful practice is to look for the strongest version of a challenge to your existing framework, find the smartest person who holds it, and take seriously the possibility that they might be right and you might be wrong.
Most intellectual communities are not set up to reward this. They’re set up to reward the defense of shared positions. Changing your mind on something important is more likely to cost you status than gain it.
So the circle jerk continues. The same twelve thinkers, the same citation layer, the same books that make us feel smarter than we were.
And every now and then, someone will write a piece pointing this out – and it will be widely shared among people who already agree with it.
Including, possibly, this one.

Because "consent" is a fiction

Pre-consent tracking is the norm.
