Abstract
How can clear, effective, and fluid interfaces for consent be built into digital public infrastructure and data governance? Some examples of cultural frameworks and interfaces for consent we may explore include: Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent; informed consent in medicine; University Title IX Policies of Affirmative Consent; Sociocracy’s “Consent Decision-Making”; consensus decision making; opt-in vs. opt-out; consent profiles; GDPR cookie consent interfaces; Creative Commons licensing; open-source licensing, GPL3, and copyleft; and possibly more. As we translate cultural frameworks for consent into interactable consent interfaces, how can we implement privacy and cryptography tools to provide backend consent guarantees?
