Dark Patterns, the Ratchet
I'm wondering whether GDPR is going to make this worse.It used to be that the GWR train Wifi would automatically log me in. But now that has changed, and it takes me to a pre-populated log-in screen, which requires me to untick the "Add me to the mailing list" button, and tick the "T&Cs" and "Privacy statement" buttons.I suspect that this is a GDPR hoop to show they have consent for every bit of data they use. But all I have to do is forget to untick the "Add me to your mailing list" button once...
