I was waiting for someone to make this point; It's funny how in other engineering disciplines there are clear repercussions for designing something that breaks the law, but software engineers are somehow exempt.

"The client didn't want to pay for a GFI so it's not my fault he got electrocuted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"



We aren't except from it on countries where software engineering is a proper professional title and there is a named signed on some contract.

However a large amount of dark patterns aren't legally forbidden anyway.


Wow, I didn't know such software professional titles exist, I thought it's the same in all countries. Could you share the countries list please?
