   Wow, #Vice, that's an absolute shitshow of a "#privacy consent screen." 🤦♀️

   It seems designed *specifically* to trick people to consent to things they might not want to. 👀

   Settings in "User Consent" tab are "off", but there is a "Legitimate Interest" tab with the same settings turned on? The "User Consent" tab is displayed by default. It's easy for someone to think "oh, that's off, good" and hit "Save & Exit." 🙄

   Obnoxious, manipulative dark pattern and a malicious (mis)implementation of GDPR! 😠

     @rysiek DPAs tagged this kind of behaviour as a dark pattern which IS NOT gdpr-compliant (btw here’s their report from this year https://edpb.europa.eu/system/files/2023-01/edpb_20230118_report_cookie_banner_taskforce_en.pdf).

     IMHO, if you have time, notify it to the DPA or to any watchdog like noyb or panoptykon. They will probably take care of it 😃
