The most egregious part is opt out by default, obviously. That this has become a standard that doesn't shock you should register as an issue itself.

- kypro 4y agoWell you say obviously, but people in this thread are complaining about how Adobe is ripping off artists which doesn't seem particularly relevant to the issue of acceptable data consent practises. I agree it should be opt-out by default (and believe this is a violation of GDPR if it applies in the EU), but they are allowing you to opt-out and they are explaining how they'll use the data so this seems like a relatively minor issue to me honestly. Because yes, unless you're extremely naive your assumption should always be that every time your data is sent to a server or put on some cloud that it will be used in ways that you didn't consent to and potentially even disapprove of. Obviously I don't agree with that, but I'm sure there are companies doing exactly this without giving you an opt-out and without even telling you they're doing it.
- nkozyra 4y agoI think people can complain about the less obvious stuff. The opt-out default is just ... people kind of throw their hands up at this point.
