> Although using dark patterns is illegal, the laws are not enforced enough, so many websites get away with it.

The problem with consent pop-ups isn't the European law; it's the failure to properly enforce it.

The problem with consent pop-ups isn't the European law; it's the failure of many companies and persons to properly follow it.
