And yet, your blog/landing site wants me to opt into sharing my 'personal data' with 20 different 'advertisement partners'. Come on.

I would say that opt in is pretty Ok in terms of privacy of customers protection.

One does not protect one's customer privacy by asking if it can be violated, often using dark patterns.

Well that's exactly how you do it. By definition.

Asking for consent means that you don't violate their privacy since they agreed to the data being collected and shared.

Using dark patterns is of course not Ok but also a different topic.
