Is it on by default? Couldn't they just silently re-enable it with an "oops that's how site updates go sometimes!" later?

  Its not a checkbox, it’s an action. …and “automatically disable for all new private repos” is not set unless you explicitly opt in.

    Interesting wording. I would call opting in to disabling a feature 'opt out'. I'm sure github legal prefers your description, though.

  Well they could silently do anything. No need to toggle the user-visible checkbox It's like giving a party some of your possessions to store, and signing a form saying you don't consent to them snooping through them, then worrying "what if they change and forge the contract later?". They wouldn't need to. Either you trust them to keep their word or you don't trust them with your possessions at all
