Yeah, they won't set it by default as they don't want to bite the feeding hand.
@Engywuck I still think enabling the user to opt-in / opt-out is the right thing. But to do that, the user needs to be fully informed about every option and the platform has to be enough clear and flexible.
@ANderagakura @Engywuck Under the GDPR, opt-out is not an option, so if the approach taken is not an opt-in one it is arguably unlawful in the EU.
I wonder how they plan to address the different legal requirements from different legislations...@ANderagakura @Engywuck Sure :) But depending on how they'll deal with this default can impact the lawfulness of the solution.
@ANderagakura @Engywuck I agree with you! That's also why no one should be opted-in by default
Maybe, or maybe GPC only provides more bits of information that can be used for fingerprinting.
