this question makes no sense.

since on street analytics are already beneficial to everyone, consumers and providers, why should they be opt-in? they should be, and currently are, automatic opt-in with an option to opt-out. you are walking on the street, so any privacy is gone just from walking outside of your home.

What doesn't make sense is to consider never leaving the house a realistic option. Nor does the phrase "automatic opt-in".

And I hope this:

is a joke. It's pure authoritarianism.
