Opt-out is better than nothing, but it&amp;#x27;s a pretty suspect move to say &amp;quot;oops, you were accidentally opted in to something that would make us money without your permission.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d respect them a lot more if they came right out and said &amp;quot;let us sell your data or start paying for our services.&amp;quot; That would at least be a fair choice, and I&amp;#x27;d be happy(ish) to pay google 10 bucks a month if they promised not to sell my information on the side.</text></comment>
