you should easily be able to give a few sources

I have plenty, like close to 100 pages where I personally implemented the useless dialoge. But I'm sure not going to taddle on them.

But if you want to go hunting for it yourself: try small wordpress sites or other small self-hosted blogs.

This obviously won't be true for websites of major corporations.

Can you not at least rat out the major sites? Surely you don't have any moral qualms with that

I really don't want to, I think it's a rather stupid law that is both annoying and ineffective.

Most "bigger" offenders I found in the wild were medium sized local news sites and I really don't want to cause them any legal trouble.

But as someone else said, it's rather trivial to find. You really just need a browser with dev-tools.

You know you could just report them yourself right

Yes indeed. I just don't want to. It's a silly law.

So you don't want to report a company for breaking the law? What have they ever done for you?
