Cookie addio ai banner invasivi. Cookie, la svolta UE e l'addio ai banner invasivi via ai controlli centralizzati col Digital Omnibus. La Commissione Europea presenta una riforma radicale per mettere fine alla "fatica da consenso": preferenze salvate via browser, stop ai design ingannevoli e multe salate per chi non si adegua.

Dark Patterns: Are Your Games ...

Häh, #AmazonPrime mit einem Klick gekündigt? Was übersehe ich?

Das war doch sonst immer: "Kündigen", nächste Seite: "Ja, wirklich!", nächste Seite: "Schade, du verlierst alle deine Vorteile, was jetzt wohl die Nachbarn denken ..." ('Leider hast du vergessen nach ganz unten zu Scrollen und auf "Jetzt aber ganz wirklich Kündigen, ist mir egal was die Nachbarn denken" zu klicken und deshalb verlängert sich deine Mitgliedschaft Ende der Woche').

I ordered something from Wayfair earlier today. I signed in to save some typing. When I was done, there was no “log out” or “sign out” button or link to be found. Way beyond #DarkPatterns. Shitty #webdesign. On purpose. I signed out by deleting all cache, content, and cookies from Wayfair.

No I don't want to implement this jira ticket. "Selecting text in an input field should not be possible" #enterpriseWebdev #darkPatterns

Volker Weber (@vowe@social.heise.der) beschreibt in „Microsoft-Erziehung“, wie Redmonds Produkte zunehmend zum pädagogischen Experiment verkommen. Steter Werbedruck, Dark Patterns und Copilot-Zwang erziehen Nutzer zum reflexhaften „Nein“. Vertrauen? Eher Umerziehung.

🚨 ALERT 🚨: A website that bravely exposes the shocking conspiracy of "dark patterns" in #gaming 🎮, because apparently, gamers have no idea when they're being duped into playing more than they should. Thank goodness for these digital crusaders fighting the real enemy: game mechanics that anyone with a single brain cell can identify 🙄.

And here I come again with another post. Maybe you can sympathise with me, when I use the internet without proper protections, it feels like walking in the streets of Brazil, one step away from a murder attempt or someone trying to scam you on some bullshit, got interested?

Wow, GlobalNews.ca. That’s, uh, that’s what we call “not great.” A qualified journalist might even call it “evil” or “exploitative.”

Actually trying to opt out reveals several dark patterns.

As someone who isn’t Canadian, this is a rather unfortunate way to make your acquaintance.

"So called 'dark patterns' are steering people to spend more than they would otherwise intend to - and manipulated up to a third of those buying through websites, [Consumer NZ] revealed in a report out today."

it’s insulting really.

Amazon's on the hook for a $2.5 BILLION settlement for allegedly 'tricking' users into Prime. Those 'accidental' sign-ups? Turns out they weren't so accidental. Time to see if you're owed some payback!

Advarsel mod firmaet Natur & Helse - de benytter sig af ulovlige dark patterns for at få lov at SPAMME deres kunder.

Jeg fjernede markeringen i deres forud-afkrydsede checkboks - alligevel modtog jeg uønsket mail - SPAM.

I loathe all these new tech services that require a phone number to create an account. Privacy nightmares.
