Michael J. NicholsonMore <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a> s ... Glassdoor"Deactivate" account does not remove data. You need to contact them to actually delete stuff. Even on the contact form there is "cancel account" - not "deactivate" mind, which I _think_ is still just deactivate and "we keep your data". So "delete my data" is - as far as I can tell - "cancel my account", but it's far from clear. So, bye bye forever glassdoor - another company that only wants me for my data and will do all things bad to keep it.

C_ChellSo, I just encounter a (dark?) pattern on an online shop. During a search (with not what I search in it, sadly), I hit this page : <a href="https://www.cnfiln.com/products/12mm-push-button-switch-6v-green-led-on-off" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cnfiln.com/products/12mm-push-button-switch-6v-green-led-on-off</a> Admire the "Add to cart" button giggling to attract your click ... And the "Please give your mail address to you popup too ...And I didn't force to have it, just no or just basic JS enabled (NoScript).Is this a tactics to make you go away ?<a href="https://equestria.social/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a>

protmanwich.exeIt's the pre-conference waiting music while attendees navigate the unintentional <a href="https://mas.to/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> of the stubborn AV touchscreen interface <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ozy1EcB9kY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ozy1EcB9kY</a>

Harald Eilertsen The sneaky bastards! This is a perfect example of a dark pattern. A checkbox where you can select whether to receive spam from the online shop or not, but by leaving it uncheced you actually opt in to spam. This is afaict not legal according to the GDPR. Wonder if @<a href="https://mastodon.social/@noybeu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">noyb.eu</a> or @<a href="https://eupolicy.social/@finnmyrstad" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Finn Lützow-Holm Myrstad</a> has any opinions? #<a class="" href="https://hub.volse.no/search?tag=DarkPattern" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DarkPattern</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.volse.no/search?tag=web" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">web</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.volse.no/search?tag=opt-out" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">opt-out</a>

Chris TrottierActually, dark patterns do exist on <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>. We don’t recognize them as dark patterns because we’re too politicized to see what’s obvious in plain sight.But here’s an example of a <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/darkpattern" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> on Mastodon: harassers being able to send you abusive messages as “followers only”. This renders the message invisible from public view while being visible to everyone who follows the abuser – followers who are likely to have the same toxic affinity as the abuser.Let’s not pretend this is not a dark pattern. It clearly is.

George BailyAs I am in the process of cancelling it, here's a view of the current UK <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Disney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disney</a> Plus subscription prices. As you can see they now have the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> option of "with ads". Presumably the "ad-free" will have ads soon too. Being a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> based design, this "change your plan" page of course lacks any option to pause or cancel my subscription. The hunt begins...

TheZeldaZone👑🏳️‍⚧️🎮🎀<a href="https://mastodon.online/@goodenough" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@goodenough</a> for sure but it's def a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> trend I've noticed, started I'm pretty sure by Microsoft with...with...at least Windows 8, nagging and even resetting options. I think it got worse in windows 10 or 11. Sheesh you'd think I'd dedicate more of my brain to "which operating system sucked the most"

Thomas Svensson 🖖För många av apparna så måste jag också ta mig igenom kakmonstret, om allt de vill damsuga mig på.Från erfarenhet så är det värt besväret lägga upp till minuter, som de värsta syndarnas <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a> består av. Där särskilt bakdörren <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Ber%C3%A4ttigatIntresse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BerättigatIntresse</a> sticker ut. Väldigt vanligt allt är påslaget som standard där, även om allt annat som standard är avslaget. Det är så utstuderat dåligt så det skriker!Belöningen är inte bara mindre störning - ofta märks tydlig prestandaförbättring 🥰<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/cookies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cookies</a>

wilhelmReally not digging Apple adding another <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/DarkPattern" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a> without user consent. How is this even legal in EU under GDPR? Settings option to <code>Learn from this App</code> is active by default. I was never asked to consent. The only way of opting out is manually disabling the setting for every 👏🏻 single 👏🏻 app 👏🏻 you run on your iOS device. Apple will say this is all on device. But if I see no benefit, why even opt-in. And coupled with <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/AppleIntelligence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AppleIntelligence</a> this becomes a lot more complicated. I don't want my app usage analyzed whatsoever. <a href="https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@EUCommission</a> <a href="https://social.bund.de/@bfdi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bfdi</a> <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/learnfromthisapp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#learnfromthisapp</a> <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/apple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apple</a> <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/siri" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siri</a> <a href="https://fedia.social/tags/privacy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://www.heise.de/en/news/Siri-learns-from-apps-Unclear-Apple-settings-leave-users-in-the-dark-10256428.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.heise.de/en/news/Siri-learns-from-apps-Unclear-Apple-settings-leave-users-in-the-dark-10256428.html</a>
