If you opt in it means that by default you're not in and you chose that option. So if you're now included in training by default, then it's an opt-out feature as in you can opt out of it.

Idk, feels like my brain does not have the model for this, this does not exist in my language afaik haha.

  • Just remember, good company’s leave them off by default. Bad companies will turn them on for you.

  • Replace opt with its equivalent “choose” and it becomes choose-(tobe-)in and choose-(tobe-)out.

  • Opt-in = "we assume you are out unless you tell us you want to be in"

    Opt-out = "we assume you are in unless you tell us you want to be out"
