I'm in Europe (England) and when i fired up facebook on my phone this morning, i got the option to opt out of this. The accept it button was the default and obvious button to click on though.
- Letmesleep69 8y agoTo be fair it wasn't default. It was just blue while the other was grey. I found the process to be quite easy however at the end the had "see my other options" in grey writing and I accidentally clicked away before I saw it so they certainly abuse dark patterns.
- sshagent 8y agoYeah thats what i meant. The coloured in button to catch your eye if you're in a hurry. I was quite surprised to see being asked for such things. Whether that actually makes a difference or not i guess we'll never know.
- StavrosK 8y agoThe "see my other options" link at the end leads to a page that explains that there's no way to use Facebook without consenting to the requests on the last page, gives you a button to download all your data and one to delete your account. Overall, I found the UI pretty good, the buttons for the alternatives (non-consent) were clearly labeled, and they explained well what they were going to do with the data.

- JetSpiegel 8y agoDoes GDPR apply in the UK post-Brexit?
- ThisIs_MyName 8y agoWe've got at least a year before that happens.
- davidgl 8y agoYes, it’s already been passed into uk law
- TomMarius 8y agoIf UK participates in EHP Norway-style, then yes.
- danols 8y agoSo I guess we can expect to be asked this once a week in an increasingly deceptive way until people either by accident click yes or they click yes just to get rid of the popup.
