If it's "opt-out" it's automatically on, and you can turn it off.
- jyunwai 2y agoYou are correct. The headline author likely meant "opted in by default" or "enabled by default."
- elAhmo 2y agoLikewise, I think the title is literally of opposite what is actually happening.
- alt227 2y agoI think they mean 'Enabled by default'
- mejutoco 2y agoThus opt-out would be the correct term.
