The same happened with the Facebook Beacon: it was opt-out at the beginning, users protested, and so now it is opt-in. I am still wondering who can decide to opt-in the Facebook Beacon... :) About the privacy settings for the Wall and the News Feed, I think that it is pretty weird that to diasble notifications about common stuff such as Photos, Groups, Events and so on you have to click on "edit application". In this way Facebook is making it more complicate (adding an useless step) and building another filter to discourage users to do so. I would call it the ‘opt-out problem: a Facebook trademark’.

I believe you are referring in your post about our discussion about my 'setting my relation status to empty/none' and in return getting messages of friends questioning me on my 'marijn is not single anymore' status. My plan was to not be labelled as a single and in return I get it double back in my face :) thanks for this post chris, I think you hit the spot by emphasising on the obscure opt-out practises of a lot of SNSes.
