I think we should make this type of tracking opt-out by default. We should also ban the sale of its use to third parties and its use for purposes other than the specific functionality which required it to be enabled in the first place.

That's opt-in, not opt-out.

[nickburns]

GP states correctly that they believe the default 'choice' of a user should be 'opting-out' of location tracking.

[rcxdude]

This is utterly confusing the use of the terms. Opting is making a choice. The default isn't a choice. Opting by default makes no sense.

[rubyfan]

Yeah it is. What I mean is the default is you have not opted in. You must choose to opt in for this type of tracking. It should be a choice that doesn’t preclude you from using a service if you don’t allow tracking.

[quantum_magpie]

You are describing opt-in policies — you’re out by default and you have to opt-in to be tracked.
