This is the second time in as many days where "dark patterns" has been applied in an awkward way in a prominent place. Was there a widely discussed post where "dark patterns" was used in this way, and is the phrase going to become diluted now?

It's the technology arguably more than the people.

People started using invasive trackers not because the trackers are innate, but because someone built them.
