I think people accept tracking because they feel like they don’t have a choice. But when the choice is as easy as a button, they happily opt out.

- datavirtue 5y agoExactly. This is the same reason Facebook won't let users moderate content.
- dorchadas 5y agoI don't even believe it's because they feel they don't have a choice -- I think it's more they don't realize the data Facebook et al collect (or that it's even collecting data). So when Apple asks if they want to be tracked, they say no because they don't want to be tracked but didn't realize it before. A lot of people don't realize they track you across websites etc, even if it might seem obvious to us.
- ashtonbaker 5y agoAgreed, it’s a default choice with vague implications to the average person.
