FYI: There is a dark pattern in the mobile app where, if you toggle the opt-out buttons in order from top to bottom, one of them will enable themselves.
Demons.
If they are just blatantly retoggling the field, that’s not a dark pattern. But if they are toggling based on a lower toggles “nevermind I didn’t mean the above toggle” or similar, then yeah.
That said, I don’t even know what to call the former.
Edit: The downvotes are a weird reaction to me pointing out this potentially isn’t as benign as dark pattern bullshit.
