I think there should be an opt-IN model. Opting out can be made confusing and difficult and time-consuming.

I've gone to websites that list over 300 3rd parties that they share data with. Opting out means going to every one of those 3rd parties one at a time and hunting for their opt-out link. And those come with a warning:

If you clear your cookies, you'll have to do this again. And the opt-out only applies on this browser on this device.

Suddenly, the consumer has a part-time job that they didn't ask for.

My understanding is that Apple is going to present the option to the user. They won’t have to search for it.

Whether there is an actual default or just a pair of options, I don’t know.

This has me seriously thinking about paying the Apple premium and ditching Android.
