What popularity? Do you have data that users tend to click "yes" on such permission prompts?

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking or what you're responding to.

- geofft 7y agoThat's one of the negative consequences. If you phrase it as "In order for you to use the web as you're used to it, lihkg.com will go down, do you care" then sure, users may say "no." But if you phrase it as "When you visit this website, a portion of your bandwidth and battery life will be used to suppress dissident communications in Hong Kong, would you like to use your bandwidth and battery life on it," do you expect users to say yes?
