I think you didn’t see the example image I posted (or image embedding is broken? Show fine on my system FWIW), because the example certainly isn’t opt-in. There is no default, the user has to select “Share” or “Don’t Share”. IMHO it would be a reasonable compromise, likely giving much higher quality data than opt-in, but avoiding the pitfalls of opt-out.

I saw your example from iOS. If we do something like that, everybody will click “Don’t Share” and the data we do manage to collect from the 5% of users who share would be garbage. This project is only useful if we can collect quality data.
