Opt-in is choice. Choice for a consumer is usually a good thing. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. The market can punish those who don't respect privacy concerns. I can't speak for others, but I regularly avoid services that I find unpalatable. Some evildoers won't tell the truth. Eventually some will be caught. The market can punish those who get caught. EU regulators may be able to exert legal pressure on dishonest evildoers. I doubt the US will take any action. The oligarchy is strong on this side of the pond. I speculate EU entities that were honest about their practices will sidestep some regulatory actions.
