"180solutions today announced its plan to show its users "notification" popups
describing some of 180's practices -- thereby, in 180's view, obtaining users' "informed
consent." In principle, a re-opt-in might let 180 obtain users' consent even where
initial installations had somehow failed to do so. But 180's notification message
is so flawed and so duplicitous that it can't offer the legitimacy 180 purportedly
seeks. For one, 180's notification screen makes numerous false statements. Also,
180's notification is presented in a way that fails to obtain any notion of "consent."
Meanwhile, even 180's new installs don't obtain meaningful informed consent"
