> It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

Being as easy to withdraw as to give consent is technically a different thing from being as easy to refuse as to give consent, since consent that is refused was never given in the first place but consent that is withdrawn was previously given. But yeah, courts have been clear that both of these actions must be as easy as giving consent, and both requirements are too often not complied with.

The law says that it should be easier to refuse consent than give it. That's thoroughly implied (and then there's Recital 43, if the text of the law isn't clear enough for you).

Well, true, in the sense that refusing consent is the default.
