The plan is to recover unused cycles, and ask the websites who power the platform to add a link to the opt in/out https://ss.crowdprocess.com/opt-out.html Having said that, I am the first to admit that many websites aren't currently displaying this, we need to work on that.

It seems one of the biggest business issues is site visitor perception. I have a couple questions please. What's your opt-rate rate so far out of the sites that have shown this option? do you have any real data regarding hidden cost to a site visitor? like power consumption A/B testing or something?

Currently blocking 3g and 4g (all mobile devices in fact), and working to block satellite internet.

How are you doing that?
