@BjornW@mastodon.social<p>🚩Every once in a while, Mozilla may decide to update these Terms. We will post the updated Terms online. We will take your continued use of Firefox as acceptance of such changes. We will post an effective date at the top of this page to make it clear when we made our most recent update.</p><p>Why not use Firefox to notify changes? There's already a version check.

Aral Balkan<p>Dear change.org,</p><p>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).</p><p>The second screenshot is just plain old incompetence.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/changeOrg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>changeOrg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/deceptiveDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deceptiveDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/incompetence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>incompetence</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>design</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>Folks, this is a deceptive design pattern.

Robert Stribley<p>I'm seeing this <a href="https://journa.host/tags/deceptivedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deceptivedesign</span></a> pattern more lately. <br>Step 1 (Bait) - Give us your email address for $10 off<br>Step 2 (Switch) - Oh, we're gonna need your phone number, as well<br>Now if you bail, they already have your email address.<br>Proceed, they get your phone number as well.</p><p>Peak Design just lost a customer instead of gaining one, since I don't want to reinforce dishonest design practices.
