This is true, but if I recall correctly it's plainly against the law for them to do this. Websites continue to do it because they're fully aware that enforcement is laughable.

IIRC it is against the letter of the law to make it harder to opt out than to opt in. So this behaviour would be fine if it was at least as painful to opt in. > Websites continue to do it because they're fully aware that enforcement is laughable. Pretty much.
