If it WAS conveniently located, I wonder how many people would turn it off?
We all would, but are we representative?
Would Google etal get a wake-up call? Or would most people be happy with it?
Sorry, I only have questions.

@Kirsty @neromabene @gwynnion every time there's a court case which touches on opt-in vs opt-out schemes, the company in question tells on itself and says out loud on the record that if they made (x) service opt-in with an obvious toggle, not enough people would opt in. They know they are tricking people into using features they don't want. I think the last big one i remember was Apple or Google saying this about data collection for service optimization (which the company then trades of course).
