you'd care to know by default. Not that we should follow their example....and
if Apple hasn't done it yet they will follow suit soon.
Hi Mike, given the millions of spots per day going to pskreporter.info and
wsprnet.org the policy of opting in looks like it's working ok to me. I would
not like to have to draft the agreement that would be required on installation
if we had those options on by default. Are you willing to pay the necessary
lawyers fees to ensure that we are protected? MS, Google, Apple, ... all take
great care to have their users agree to data gathering by default, it may be
hidden in unscrupulous small print and disguised links but it is there
somewhere. Also the requirements and regulations are not globally uniform. It
is so much easier to offer the option at the users discretion. We have nothing
to hide that way.
