I went to CVS yesterday to pick up a prescription. For years when I’ve done so, there’s a step where you need to sign on the terminal and agree that you’re receiving the listed medications. This time, I noticed a super dark pattern.
In the place where historically they’ve collected this signature, they still ask for your signature—but to agree that CVS can use your *medical data* for marketing.
There’s no way this is informed consent. One of the darkest patterns I’ve seen.

Early stage, vs late stage, but the same pattern.
In the early rise to power of the Nazi party, there were no concerted plans for deathcamps for marginalized groups yet, either.
It was preceded though by hate campaigns, just like now, with totalitarian ideology, just like now, which inspired groups and odd individuals to attack, just like now and a rise of political acceptance of hating marginalized groups, just like now.
How far to go before calling it so?
