BeReal: The app that won't take no for an answer
(noyb.eu)
Today, noyb has filed a complaint against the social media platform BeReal over the latest “dark pattern” to get consent. When people open the app, they are confronted with a pop-up asking them to say “yes” or “no” to the use of their personal data for advertising purposes. So far so good, but BeReal wants to force a specific choice: if users click “accept”, they will never see the consent banner again.
