#4As a European I encounter a lot dark patterns to circumvent privacy laws.
Some just ignore your choice and track you.
Some don't give you a reject option.
Some make it really really annoying (or slow) to reject.
Do you think it's possible to politely ask them on twitter to change? Maybe as a group?

Does that break the law?

> Some make it really really annoying (or slow) to reject.
Some even make it slow to accept, or reload to a homepage after submitting, instead of back to the original page. It just doesn't make any sense to me. But apparently people just accept it as the way the internet is nowadays.

Well the implication of that sentence is therefore that if you click "Accept" you're simply accepting that you can consent by closing the notice. Therefore clicking the X is consenting, and clicking "Accept" is choosing not to consent.

Or destroy the whole virtual machine used for casual browsing. Except tracking includes browser fingerprint, which will not be reset even in this way.
