Didn't this use to be an opt-in setting?
No. It's the life blood of Google's tracking ethos so it was always opt out on google's phones. It's so important to google that they'll reset these permissions to "enabled" for all apps on system updates, so you won't notice it until way later.

Why the fuck did Australia lease a port?

Politicians favorite passtime.
If they can bribe politicians in Australia, imagine smaller countries that are under China's influence.

At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.
"Genocide as a Service"
"No way to prevent this, say the Democrats who are actively collaborating with the fascists"
Sounds like a paid PR release than anything.
Apparently, there's a lot of people going around, anytime this comes up saying this is nothing new. There's nothing new to the end users, who never cared. But this is going to make it hard for tinkerers to figure out shady shit Google is trying to pull.

might be a concentrated PR attempt to downplay the change. idk

Artists reciprocating the feelings of the people is a thing of the past.
