"Dark patterns are presumably proliferating because firms’ secret and proprietary A-B testing has revealed them to be profit maximizing. We show how similar A- B testing can be used to identify those dark patterns that are so manipulative that they ought to be deemed unlawful." x.com/liorjs/status/…

@psilfver @Skogberg There's also the fact that the page reloads upon dropdown selection, which of course is detrimental to accessibility...
Classic interaction design fail. Which color is selected?
Vit = White
Svart = Black
I realize I’ve alluded to the answer, but this really got me confused this morning.
For a commercial company that claims to want transparency, let’s ask for more transparency.

@ronbronson Dito. In my teaching I tend to use the broader category of "covert nudging", but everyone just gets what "sneaky defaults" is all about.

I found a useful tool allowing me to partake in the joy of well-written newsletters without having them fill up my inbox. The website Kill the Newsletter! (KTN) simply allows you to add them to your feed reader.

@tsvenson Oh I don't provoke people I hope, but I do block overtly racist presidents, politicians and trolls so that their tweets stay as far away from me as possible. Unfortunately they do pop up as screendumps once in a while.

@tsvenson Yeah, Facebook I'm off thankfully. I visit one group there once in a while (of which I'm admin) but I hope to leave completely within the year.

@tsvenson I'm impressed by how you manage that. I actually do see value in both settings, but I would obviously not want the switch to happen without me actively doing something.
How have I not seen these cards before!

@manzay Jag har förstått det som att det är precis som du skriver. Men är inte hundra, eftersom Twitter gör så mycket ändringar hela tiden.
