<p>It's problematic.  Over time, companies that abuse opt-outs and consent preferences likely will need to be punished via a combination of regulatory fines, the marketplace taking business from them, and media shaming.  We're deploying tools and technology to help audit and hold accountable such entities but I expect it's a long road ahead.

<p>Because that's not Google's business.  At least this is a step in the right direction.  That IS the business of privacy removal services like DeleteMe which i am a cofounder of.  Like in many things in life the advice "follow the $" can be helpful here ;)</p>

<p>Indeed it's complex to do the submission but I understand why Google needs some of the details to process with fidelity and consideration.  Sadly, simple privacy is now complex to achieve.  We have to start unraveling 25 years of unfettered data collection somewhere.  Google here is no worse than the data brokers red tape processes and corporations hiding behind consent managers with ID verification etc.</p>
