    Wow. Something is actually being done to stop this. I’m shocked, and wish we had this kind of advocacy for human rights here in the USA.

      What stop? They are going to get a fine of $5m euros. Wow. End of that dark pattern. /s

      A bigger question is why Android even allows this. This is not possible on iOS and shouldn’t be possible to begin with.

      Google is every bit responsible.

        Why does Android allow this? Google is an advertising company.

        To answer the “big question”, “Why Android even allows this” I asume you are taking about the Android versions that are coded to allow this. In this case it is because , well, are coded like this. Why did Google coded their Android version like this? Profit.

        Apple, doesn’t code ios like this cuz it is not their big revenue.

        I am not sure Google or Apple are the hero in this story. Insinuating Apple does it out of the goodness of their hearts is naive.
