Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Requiring users to opt-out of changes to Facebook's privacy settings would mean that "by default" privacy settings would be changed without users' explicit consent. This is considered unethical because it goes against the principle of informed consent, where users should have control over their personal information and how it is used. Users should have the option to actively choose whether or not they want their privacy settings to be changed.
