Is there a way to report a link for dark patterns? If not, why isn't there? Exploiting someone's fears/addicition is a deplorable way to build an email spam list.

You can send the link to @darkpatterns on Twitter [1].

They run the “Dark Patterns” website which is quite famous.

The worst part is, after giving it a burner email so I could see the results, it just showed me them in the UI without requiring me to check the email anyway. I guess I'll monitor it to see if I get any spam.

(I got 4/9 if you're curious)
