First, it was never meant to be opt in.

Second, that's like saying you don't see the problem with the Nuremberg laws.

Taken out of context, they're bad.

Taken in context, they're the first step towards something much, much worse.

And when such a canary in the coalmine dies the rational response is to not understand how it died and proceed further down the mine.

    it was never meant to be opt in.

    Source? I've posted numerous pieces of evidence to the contrary:

    people finding out: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#issuecomment-833778895

    people highlight the opt-in dialog text: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#discussion_r627756976

    there are no commits in between; it could not have been changed to opt-in "when people found out" as you claim.

    For one thing the Nuremberg Laws (1935) prohibit interracial marriage. That alone is bad. I also believe laws that restrict citizenship are bad. Of course I see a big problem with allat.

    There were also many more "incidents" in the four years following the Nuremberg Laws... Audacity, none.
