If you haven't already had the pleasure, I can recommend reading any and all of Maciej Cegłowski's Idle Words
He had gone a while without very many additions but has made several new entries recently, including this one, about the radically shifted privacy landscape we live in today:
The large tech companies point to our willing use of their services as proof that people don’t really care about their privacy. But this is like arguing that inmates are happy to be in jail because they use the prison library. Confronted with the reality of a monitored world, people make the rational decision to make the best of it.
That is not consent.
