This is an issue that will be of direct concern to RedHat's and IBM's stockholders. :D
It is well-known that "Opt-Out" mailing lists are worthless.
The only real value is with "Opt-In" lists.
By making the tracking Opt-Out, they are directly reducing the shareholder value, which is the exact opposite of what they are being paid to do.
Everyone receiving a salary that is directly involved with this situation is now personally liable to shareholder lawsuits. :D

Buy some stock, not so that you can reap the dividends, but so that you have a "Right To Sue" the C-suite personally over their decisions... :D
As Quell said "Make it personal." :D
