No matter how it’s formulated it looks exactly like the “opt-out” everyone on HN hates when it’s done to them. It’s effective so it’s great when it works for you not against you.



"opt-out" is just a tool and it can be used for both good and evil. Same as a for kitchen knife or a political appointment.


The key, as always, is in successfully answering the question (good or evil) "for whom". Everyone thinks they are on the right side of the story.
