If I go to a magic show, I give my consent to be tricked. Again in ways that are nuanced and revocable, but there is consent given in some limited form.
That feels especially true in the modern world, where everyone is trying to trick me in any number of ways. Advertising is, almost by definition, a kind of nonconsentual magic.
I did not give permission to whomever is painting hamburgers out of edible wax to try and trick me by making me think that hamburger is what I will get when I fork over $15 at a drive through. I did not give permission to anyone trying to language-hack my brain Snow Crash style until I buy their product, sign up for their service, give them my money.
