“Opt-in by default” is an oxymoron. If it’s default then I haven’t opted into anything. It’s been enabled by default.

But that's not the standard definition of "opt-in". See for instance MW: "to choose to do or be involved in something".

#115Mostly unrelated but the name of this company makes me think it's a Dick-Pics-as-a-Service provider.
This is totally intentional and they play it up for all it's worth on their bus ads in SF. Personally I find it just pathetic, but what can you do.

I think it would be better if there was an EU browser that provided a warning if accessing sites outside of the EU. If an origin site is in the EU then it could be subject to EU regulations.

Many restaurants have the audacity to add a 20% (or whatever percentage) "service fee" that isn't considered tip. It even says something like "we use this to pay our staff competitive wages and health insurance." You can't opt out. It's just part of the bill. Then they have the gall to ask for a tip on top of that. I've taken to a) leaving a negative Google or yelp review for such establishments and b) never coming b…
