Google should know better

Up here in Canada we have a privacy law that states offers have to be opt-in not opt-out.

When I went to upgrade my flash player I got the following screen.

C’mon Google, stop acting like Realplayer. Now I know why all my relatives have the Google toolbar but can’t remember how they got it. It’s like a virus.

It states right beside the button “Not required for operation of the Flash player” so it should be unchecked by default.

You don’t engender brand loyalty through trickery, you should know better.
