Meaningful Consent in the Digital Economy

尽管不断被要求“同意”服务条款，但我们目前没有“有意义的同意”。“目前还不清楚简单而有意义的同意机制是否会从根本上改变业务，或者加强围绕个人数据共享的新型经济学。由于同意被认为是必要的，也是公平社会契约的一部分，然而，如果没有有意义的同意，社会契约实际上就被打破了，我们法律的最佳意图也被破坏了。我们解决这一差距的研究挑战是跨学科的：有意义的同意对改变当前的数字经济数据实践有影响;改变将需要潜在的新商业模式，当然也需要新的互动形式来突出政策，而不会在我们开展业务时给公民带来负担。我们制定了一个愿景，通过跨学科专家和公民活动的结合来实现对有意义的同意的理解，以提供有用的政策，业务和技术指南。

Despite being asked to "agree" constantly to terms of service, we do not currently have "meaningful consent." It is unclear whether having simple and meaningful consent mechanisms would change business fundamentally or enhance new kinds of economics around personal data sharing. Since consent is deemed necessary and part of a social contract for fairness, however, without meaningful consent, that social contract is effectively broken and the best intent of our laws undermined. Our research challenges to address this gap are interdisciplinary: meaningful consent has implications for transforming current digital economy data practices; change will require potentially new business models, and certainly new forms of interaction to highlight policy without over burdening citizens as we go about our business. We have set out a vision to achieve an understanding of meaningful consent through a combination of interdisciplinary expert and citizen activities to deliver useful policy, business and technology guidelines.
