Yes, it's also against the rules to auto select all of the trackers as accepted but many sites still do this. By default everything should be deselected and you need to accept all of them to allow tracking.
I've found that sites are slowly changing over to this method but it will probably take a big court case for the likes of TechCrunch to change.
