"According to France’s privacy watchdog CNIL, Youtube users only had to click once to accept cookies, whereas refusing cookies took multiple clicks.
CNIL’s complaint stated that Google purposefully made the consent mechanisms more complex to push consumers to accept cookies––a clear violation of the GDPR’s requirement that companies provide equally simple ways to opt into or out of data collection."
So these dark patterns are officially violating GDPR.
However there are still tons of websites implementing this.
