Same goes with Tumblr and Yahoo for example, where everything is enabled by default and you have to go one (I'm not talking about 10-20, it's more like +300) by one to enable the tracking done by advertising/marketing companies.

One of the better thing is, though I don't want to advocate the behavior of auto opt-in at all, that most of these sites are at least using something like TRUSTe or Oath, where you only have to disable hundreds of marketing services once and are done with all the sites, which are using the same service for cookie consent.

It's against the law to make the options opt-out but these companies are still trying hard to don't obey by the law, it's really comical.
