Better, but still not good enough. Finding and filling out 300 simple forms is still a lot of work and requires perfect vigilance. IMHO, opt-out is basically privacy theater: make it theoretically possible but practically impossible.
Any opt-out system that comes anywhere close to being effective is just one default-change away from being the opt-in system that is should be.
