  • I used to feel the same about settings pages but I’ve noticed I’m so used to the auto save settings way I now get annoyed at the opposite - when I change some settings, exit the page and then discover I’ve lost the changes because I was meant to click save.

    I guess either way can work fine it just needs to be properly designed.


  • This is useful insight but I think it’s important to remember that, as messed up as it sounds, different companies and their lawyers will interpret laws differently. It will be a risk vs reward calculation for each company. They won’t consider if it’s illegal or not, they’ll consider whether they’re likely to be prosecuted, what the fines would be, what the reputational damage would be, whether they have more lawyers than the government of a moderately sized country etc.

    I probably agree with the interpretation you’ve given and would like the governments to go after companies that think otherwise but that sadly isn’t how it works.
