Has anyone figured out why so many corps do this? It always feels like it's one step from:
* Of course do whatever you want!
* Nah I'm a big dumb idiot who doesn't know whats good for him so ask me in 3 days when I've hopefully come to my senses.
I think a simple law would fix this
If no wasn't an option, you did not establish consent.
Because every single developer that writes one of these is a shitty incel that can’t take a “no” for an answer in their dating life so they had to force themselves upon you in the OS.
Not only idiots. They bank on laziness. One time you enable something by mistake then you might not spend the time to find the well hidden option to disable it.
Which reminds me, anyone know the precise location where one would disable Google's Gemini on their account?
And they would be correct. Less than 5% of users change defaults. That's why features get shoved in, on by default because if they didn't, very few would ever enable them. Not defending the practice, I hate it, but that's why they do it.
