Indeed, although the phrase "confirmed opt-in" includes the fact that "consent to be subscribed" was knowingly confirmed (at least in the context of eMail, that is). The phrase "double opt-in" doesn't go this far, which is why "less reputable" eMail marketers prefer it. (This whole conversation came up in NANAE back in the 1990s multiple times, and "confirmed opt-in" was always the preferred narrative among the anti-spam community as I recall.) > Why, yes?
