  1. Android UI Deceptive Design Pattern Department: A few weeks ago, we crammed an AI button into the Search bar widget. But, nobody used it, even when we tricked people into tapping the button accidentally if the corner of their phone pressed on the base of their thumb. How do we get more people to use our AI malfeature? I have a smart idea: let's move the button 1/3 the way into the text field where you type a search term.

  2. Dear change.org,

    The first screenshot is a deceptive design (the third option, “I only want to hear about this petition’s progress”, is missing, on purpose, to coerce people into signing up for notifications about other petitions by bundling them in with the one they’re supporting).

    The second screenshot is just plain old incompetence.

  3. I think this is Meta, not Firefox. If it's #firefox, great. I have no problem with FF saving my deets. If it's #meta then it's #deceptive and nasty. It feels like an attempt to trick people like me, who refuse to give #instagram or #facebook more info than absolutely necessary, into giving login control to Meta instead of my #browser. In other words, an attempt to take yet another little bit of my online experience away from me.

    If I'm wrong and it's just a new Firefox prompt, I'll happily amend this post.

  4. Periodic reminder: instead of "dark patterns", the preferred term nowadays is deceptive patterns. It's clearer about what's wrong with them.

  5. Regulators need to step up.

    They already try to ensure fairness and safety with weights and measures, food additives, financial instruments, building standards, transportation safety, etc.

    Why not ensure fairness by regulating against misleading and deceptive design patterns online?

    Why not protect individual customers from harm that flows from a corporation's tech choices?
