FCC fines largest wireless carriers for sharing location data

This is misleading. The OK is almost universally made easier to click through dark patterns, with the "reject" being hidden or taking more clicks

Yup. At least 2 clicks and you have to process what you are clicking to understand. I've seen more than a few sites where it's

"Ok" then "Customize" followed by a bunch of checkboxes to disable cookies while the "accept all button" is where typically "OK" would be and the "reject all" is often labeled something else that isn't clear.

This is also not often remembered on future visits so you end up doing this dance every time you visit that site.

And those are illegal under gdpr, and enforcement is slow but happening. Whats your point?
