It is important to note that if you are not silent, it also does not automatically mean consent.

If you fully understand an issue and complain about it within the space that is pertinent to the issue, there must be no assumption that understanding is equivalent to consenting.

Even though it might be implied that silence is non-consenting (I don't agree, therefore I'll leave), and recognizing while staying seems to imply consent, it is not.

Failure to comprehend these legal gray areas will eventually fuck up everyone trying to get an advantage by doing silly legal acrobatics.
