Silicon Valley software developers have a huge problem understanding consent. Look at most dialogs presented for things that companies want you to do:

Do you want to enable Feature X?

1. Yes

2. Ask me again later.

Somehow, "no" is just not in their vocabulary. Imagine if "Silicon Valley" was a guy asking a woman on a date, and the only options he understood were "yes" AND "ask again later".
