Hmm, had not heard the term "dark patterns" -- until now...
Anyway, it's going into my 2021 lexicon...
I knew that there were "attack sites" on the Internet -- that is, websites which openly attacked the browser of any visitor... Maybe "dark patterns" could be thought of as the "lesser version" of that -- instead of attacking your browser -- the website attacks your rights (!)
That is, by railroading you (the user) into "accepting" "agreements" -- that you normally would not have accepted!
Now, the $64,000 question:
Where have I seen that pattern before?
?
