To be fair, I haven't seen a load of claims about how this is "insane" or "horrible" within the context of this article. It just provides a useful instruction as to how those that wish to opt-out, may do so.

It's fine that you don't see how this matters but it does matter to some and having the choice and understanding how to exercise that choice is essential.

Apologies. I wasn't referring to this article in particular, but the hype in general over Google's changing privacy policies.

Fair enough. I do get your point - people seem to go mad about privacy in general. It does sometimes feel (to me) like people aren't as bothered about it with Google as they are with Apple, Amazon or Facebook, but maybe that's just me.

No need to apologise, wasn't trying to call you out or anything, just felt like this was one of the few posts I've read that doesn't whine too much about it.

Downvotes for apologizing? Really?
