"Some say" LOL. Come on, you're talking about consumer-facing products here. You can easily look up common definitions of opt-in and get, basically, "a clear and unambiguous signal that the user agrees".

Kill-switch implies the opposite - there is something to kill. I.e., opt-out *by definition*.

There is no grey area: "opt-in" means the feature must be volontarily enabled/activated/turned on/subscribed to by the user. Period.

If a feature comes in enabled by default, is it *not* "opt-in", no matter the semantic games you may want to play.

I love the idea that a "kill switch" can be opt-in. By definition, there has to be something there to be killed, which is literally the opposite of any definition of opt-in.

I've spoken to a lot of folks about what counts as opt-in. Some say spam email sitting unread is opt-in.

Sure, the people who say that happen to be spammers, but we gotta Both Sides it here to give the spammers a fair shake. Because the CEO can smell their checkbook.

So clearly it's a grey area.

Do you know about the #Shavian Alphabet? It is an #English #SpellingReform designed by Ronald Kingsley Read to realize the dying wish of Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. Each letter stands for one sound and vice versa.
