I wonder why these dark patterns are still acceptable on the web. I thought opting-out was supposed to be as easy as opting-in according to the GDPR? The vast majority of sites I see make opting-out a very difficult process, usually hidden behind a tiny grey span of text, while the opt-in is a giant green, frictionless button with immediate effect.
Usually there is misleading title like "We value your privacy", and a giant green accept button making you think you're agreeing with that statement. Then a tiny "Other options" in grey somewhere at the bottom which makes you go through sixteen confusing modal dialogs.

Yes, that’s the idea, but who’s going to enforce it? The dark patterns trick most people into doing what they want. A small number of technically-savvy users may complain, but we have little leverage.
