The Role of Consent in Data Privacy for Vulnerable Populations

One of the critical shortcomings in current data privacy measures is the reliance on consent without considering the fully informed and voluntary nature of it, especially among vulnerable groups. Children, for instance, might not grasp the implications of their online activities, while others might not have a real choice due to economic or social pressures. This raises questions about how consent is obtained and whether current practices offer enough protection.
