Did it ever make the front-page of a paper that you could opt-in? Why was that not a scandal?

It's widely known that the NHS needs organ doners. That itself is not the issue for me, the new status quo of the state having the right to harvest my organs is.

How are targeted ads and Facebook notifications _opt in_, but this isn't??

Give it a day or two, and it too will be widely know that you can opt-out, we're discussing this on the HN front-page afterall, clearly this is no secret.

Give it a generation and no one will care either.
