Why is this shit always opt-out?

Are they afraid it’s a shit feature, so no one would be want to opt in?

  Because Techbros really struggle with consent.

  In a word, yes.
  
  They know it benefits them more than us, so they make it opt-out.

  Because we live in corporate dictatorships with the illusion of “democracy”.
  
  Wait until you find out how most regulations are enforced by “self-reporting”… the honor system, lol.

  It reframes a thing as your fault if you miss the opt-out window. They are blame free and you failed to protect yourself.

Wish I could opt out of having LinkedIn entirely. It makes me so annoyed that so many jobs require you to have it in order to apply

Is it an EU thing that they included a link to do this directly in the announcement mail? Either way, thanks for posting this!
