- KeepFlying 6y agoAgreed. Though unfortunately the way we have it now is technically opt in, just through dark patterns or extortion. Make an account? You are opting in via those T&C Have an account and the T&C change to allow data sharing? Delete your account and deal with that pain and frustration or accept it. Forgot you made an account? Well you agreed to be bound by the T&C that they changed to allow sharing even though you didn't know it happened. They've made it so that legally you opted in in those dang documents that they make impossible to read. Super frustrating.
