If hn is not the place to discuss web regulation, I don’t know what is. New things pose new and unexpected harms and nuisances. Regulation is the cure.

On the flip side, this particular dark pattern was caused by regulation. As usual, shades of gray

Regulation is a possible cure.

Call me crazy, but if some place would be weary of going straight up for the “let’s ban things with lawyers ” approach, I would think is HN.
