Off topic: the GPDR banner on this site is a good example of dark pattern. Scrolling into a webpage does not mean I consent collecting personal info about me.

- gdhbcc 8y agoIt's a good example of GDPR non-compliance too.
- ediardo 8y agoI can't see the banner...
- gildas 8y agoDownvoting won't make it more compliant... Edit: I thought we could discuss about dark patterns on HN. I was obviously wrong. Sorry for that...
- dspillett 8y agoThe downvotes on the original post are probably because the comment is being seen as off topic. Sometimes comments like that are accepted, sometimes not, I can't say I've noticed much of a patter there other than they are far less welcome on HN than, for example, Reddit. I usually play safe and reserve side-topic comments to a post-script after something more immediately relevant (and if I don't have something to say on the thread topic, keep them to myself). The downvotes on this one are going to be because of complaining about downvotes!
- dspillett 8y agoI didn't even get a banner, so presumably I'm assumed to have consented without having taken any action.
