Being on Facebook is opt-in. I do use FB Messenger for talking to relatives, but that's about all.


It’s not opt-in when the cancer has contaminated a significant chunk of the web with like buttons and other stalking scripts and when the majority of the world is using it as its preferred communication platform, meaning opting out is inconvenient.


It's not opt-in because opting out is inconvenient?
