The issue is control, i.e., who controls whether it is installed or not and whether it is on or off. As we saw in the recent US v Google decision experts are teaching courts and the public that pre-installation and "default settings" are in effect a means of control. In theory, any software or "feature" is a "good idea" as long as no one is forced or tricked into installing or using it. In practice, so-called "tech" companies strategically pre-install and remove or obfuscate consumer choice. |
