Hey Google and Flam - "would like to send you notifications" should be followed by "Turn ON", not "Turn OFF". We should assertively *CHOOSE* to let you send us notifications. You should not assume that just because we forget to notice or overlook noticing your dark pattern. #qrcode #darkpatterns #advertising #printadvertising
Apps and software have long used these evasive ways to get us to subscribe for newsletters, updates and more. But when they simply make it not elusive, and ask, it feels voluntary to provide information.

1d"Opt-out" defaults are good in areas such as public health and personal finance where the user/consumer interest/welfare is paramount (and have effectively been used). Definitely not to serve marketer's interests as in this case.
