For all the hate that Yahoo gets for theirs (shown above), at least it does have a mostly functional reject all function, even if it requires two button presses (the end of the footer does tell you to go manually opt out of facebook/twitter).

No one likes to be blatantly manipulated.
There need to be fines for this. They're clearly violating the spirit of the law, if not the exact letter (and I think much of Europe has legal systems that follow the spirit more than the letter, don't they?)
