We just have to be careful thinking everyone is ignorant except us. Stating how some UI patterns are interpreted by some people doesn't mean anything. That some people are ignorant doesn't mean they all are. I'd like to think I'm not, and I don't see many of these "problems" as worthy of new legislation. Except when all other measures have been exhausted, we shouldn't be so quick to run to the legal system clutching our ban hammer with our perceived state of righteousness. Another problem I often see (not here, just saying in general) is how false equivalence is constantly brought up. Oh, so we should just let companies poison food or build insecure cars or whatever. I hope that with user data we can be more reasonable in how we legislate it and at least try to realize the unforeseen costs on the "good guys" vs the "bad guys".
