one of the differences between the USA and Europe is that in Europe the default must be to opt in to things, not opt out. Otherwise, and I know this happens in the USA, you find yourself opted in to all sorts of shit against your wishes. Hows about if I opt you into the convicted pedo chapter of the Ku Klux Klan? No worries - if you don't want to be part of it, it's an easy opt-out. Just get yourself down to Georgia and sign the opt out clause in the membership books held in each county branch. More realistically, I get junk telephone calls from the USA, presumably because someone I bought something from over the internet sold my details, and I can't get out of it. Over here we have a way of dealing with it but unfortuntately their writ doesn't extend to the US. Call that paranoia if you like. In any case, people who don't want Facebook to analyse their face, can always replace it with a photo of a mandrill's arse. I'm tempted to join Facebook just to do that, but I don't think my 'friends' would spot the difference.
