Opt-in does not matter, if I message or email someone who has it on, my personal data has been collected without my knowledge or consent.

This shouldnt have been built in the first place, it's irresponsible

That's true of any malware on your contact's computer or an unsecure server, though. That is not specific or novel to this feature.

(I'm not saying I like this feature, or think it's a good idea. I don't, and it's not)

So what you are saying is, is that it's malware. I agree.
