There's a fallacy, I call it the "but they consented" fallacy, there's probably a better term

You see it in convos around informed consent for clinical trials or to tech stuff

Where people justify lowering standards for something (increasing risk, making something worse, etc) by saying that they're just giving people more choice or something

But most people don't actually think they're consenting to something *that bad* even if you tell them explicitly beforehand
