So, what you're saying is that (a) there are mechanisms in place that 
can prevent things like the ones described in the example, and (b) if 
users accept an environment that doesn't use these mechanisms, they 
implicitly accept that things mentioned in the example can happen, so 
they basically consent that this can happen?
