3/ Opt-in is the way the Web should work any time users’ privacy or safety is involved. In fact, I believe we need a law *requiring* that opt-in be used in these cases. Let people choose whether they want to relinquish their privacy. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ There’s a lot of rhetoric from the privacy thieves around this development. But it’s really pretty simple: @Apple changed the game from a hard-to-use opt-out to a very easy opt-in. Nobody’s barred from being tracked. People are just being given a clear choice. — PolitiTweet.org

@jalter Jessica, opt-in isn’t just “nice“. It’s the only simple, practical way consumers can prevent (or at least diminish) tracking, if they dislike it. And it seems to be working. I never typed the word “heroic“ or tried to guess why Apple did it. — PolitiTweet.org
