I disagree. We don't need a technical solution to a people problem. If you start going on the level of how to use individual mechanisms, companies will develop new ones which are not going to be covered by law.
Especially accepting tracking should NOT, under any circumstances, be automated.
- Aachen 5y agoI think you misunderstood what they were saying. To me, it sounds like the purpose of this suggestion: > Browsers could hook into these or making a browser extension would be easy enough. Is that browsers can dictate the UI and so you wouldn't have these dark patterns to fight on each individual website. I don't know if this would be a good or a bad idea, because indeed I can see people making an extension at minimum and a browser (*cough*chrome) at worst that would allow accepting everything automatically (which would not be legally valid because the consent was not 'informed', but the site owners would have no way of knowing that). On the other hand, there is also the advantage of no dark pattern being possible at all if you implement the API correctly. I don't know. Either way, this is what I think GP meant to suggest.
