Thanks for the vote Phil,

Perhaps the panel title of the panel should be changed to 'consent and its impact on voting for SXSW panels’

:-)

The video is however one of the most biased, and untruthful, pieces of anti-consent propaganda I’ve ever seen. Great spot!

But, not surprised. Control over data is becoming a clear issue among the masses.    Consent is being mis-represented in the run up to GDPR (Updated EU Law) release this fall.

Their is a lot of mis information about consent flying around right now and people in VRM are very aware of this issues.
