Mark HughesEvery site that puts up a cookies dialogue is now saying loudly what their priority is, and it is NOT what they say it is.It's a massive RED FLAG because they have a choice.

Paco Hope #resist<a href="https://journa.host/@lolgop" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@lolgop</a> I support this idea and I will probably sign the petition (I’m a TM customer. Still mulling over whether I want to support Verizon or AT&T instead). I support <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TeslaTakedown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TeslaTakedown</a> and participated in one of their protests. But look at how scummy this petition is.First I notice that they inform me that I “may receive” email from a bunch of groups. That’s weird because it implies uncertainty. Then I notice this microscopic, grey-on-grey text that says “edit subscription preferences”. I haven’t signed in to this site, so how do I even have any preferences to edit? I tap it and it expands to an already-opted-in list of ELEVEN different orgs who will all feel entitled to spam me because they will point to this as the time I affirmatively opted in to receive all their emails.How many petition signers even see that, much less click it? This is a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a> and this is really slimy. The ONLY way to be slimier would be to opt me in without even telling me. The word “preferences” is plural, implying I have more than one preference. In practice my choice is to accept email from all 11 or none. It’s a single preference, hidden from view as much as possible.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DarkPatterns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DarkPatterns</a>

Friedrich DelgadoSo I've noticed that it's really hard to unfollow twitch streamers, both in the app and on the web. If you open the app, it plays some video, if you tap on the streamer you want to unfollow, it immediately shows a video, the unfollow button is shown briefly and is immediately replaced by chat. I'm 100% sure that this is on purpose to send you more notifications, never less and I hate it! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/twitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twitch</a>

Naga<a href="https://wandering.shop/@Nentuaby" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Nentuaby</a> Yeah, on my rant list for a long time. It should be at *least* as simple *and* conspicuous to log in as to sign up.I mean, I get why it isn't *more* conspicuous, for marketing and making numbers go up, but it's hella obnoxious.<a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a>

NentuabyCripes, I hate how every website these days treats *logging in* as a weird, semi-hidden thing you can do (they GUESS) if you don't want to !!!!!SIGN UP!!!!!! for a brand new account.It's like a <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/DarkPattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DarkPattern</a>, but it's not even trying to manipulate you into doing something advantageous to them. It's just a... Dumb pattern.

Paco Hope #resistI managed to get a video of this dark pattern. 12 seconds in you can finally see the faint "skip" button pop in. First I have to click the 'What's happening under the hood?" link. Then I have to leave the explanation on the screen for a while, then skip appears.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpatterns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkpatterns</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ui</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ux</a>

Paco Hope #resistHere's a nice <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AmazonQDeveloper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmazonQDeveloper</a>. Installing it on my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#debian</a> laptop and it pops up this GUI. Now, grey text on white background is a completely pedestrian dark pattern.The thing that is new for me, that isn't obvious from a single screenshot, is that the "skip" grey text doesn't appear at all for like 10-20 seconds. When you first see this dialog box, there's no 'skip' button. This might lead you to believe it isn't possible to skip. I tend to read things that pop up. And so while I was reading the skip button appeared.Thanks <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkpatterns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkpatterns</a>

richAh,yes- the two possible responses😡 <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a>

MattsiExtremely shitty <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/darkpattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darkpattern</a> That check box has a hidden scroll bar that only appears if you hover over it or use the scroll wheel, which reveals a second check box allowing you to opt-out. The continue button is grayed out until you pick either one 🙃
