Does everybody get all up in arms if a program uses a portion of their bandwidth to periodically check for new versions of itself by default? Are we asked if this is OK when installing, or do we have to disable it later if we don't want it? Perhaps a mixture of both?
Are we asked by Windows 10 if we want to enable automatic updates, or do we have to jump through considerable (not to mention technical) hoops to disable the behavior that's enabled by default?
Have we given express permission for every packet that every piece of hardware we've ever hung on our networks sends to other pieces of hardware (local or remote) by default (even though not all of it is actually necessary)?
Were we explicitly asked if we wanted to pass all ipsec traffic through our router's firewall when setting up our broadband connection? Or was it enabled by default?
