I agree that all of these are dark patterns that have been folded into most websites.
We should not implement these patterns, or allow them to be implemented unchallenged.

I appreciate the dark pattern enumeration here - but, as an American, I find it strange that the Australian Government needs to get involved with this PSA.

Australia is a nanny state. They will attempt to regulate these dark patterns next.

Nothing about this is regional to Australia. Every government should put out this kind of PSA. Dark patterns make everything worse in the long term for short term gain.
