I don't view the move to opt-in as a meaningful one because it's trivial to content-lock certain features to the point where the vast majority of users will opt-in even if they don't understand what is going on. At that point, the company collecting the data is in an even stronger position.
The solution is to allow the user to easily and in real-time access and control (port, delete) all of their data or data about them that a company holds.

You won't get an argument about that from me.
But I'd say that not collecting such information in the first place (which will require reversing a variety of perverse incentives) is the best solution.
