Yeah...and this is what I can't understand: Such a huge majority of people don't give a steaming shit about their privacy, I don't understand why the manufacturers don't just have a real privacy/op-out/ignore-me button (or whatever) because so few people, relatively, would actually click it. And they would be able to say with a straight face "we care".
