The only button they provide is for accepting ads. To say no, they provide a link. That's a dark pattern.

- ihuman 4y agoThe bottom one isn't a button?
- Timwi 4y agoIt doesn't matter what you call it. It doesn't look like a button to the vast majority of non-techies. That makes it a dark pattern.
- afiori 4y agoThat is at most a slightly shadowy pattern, it is the equivalent of saying "please select this one". Darker patterns would be a preselected checkbox with a ok button or a default consent with a "go to settings to update your selection". This is a "Personalized Ads" popup with an On and Off option, it looks pretty ok to me.
