      #UX designers design the environment in an attempt to provide the experience wanted for users, and this includes #darkpatterns. What you are talking about @TimSweeneyEpic is a business decision. Designers usually have to align with them if they want to keep their job, sadly... 😕https://twitter.com/timsweeneyepic/status/986642484578091008 …

      Question for UX designers: Are there specialized Bad UX Designers who create these inscrutable privacy settings pages? Or do regular designers create both good UX and bad UX? https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/17/facebook-gdpr-changes/ …

      Do you feel the situation is comparable to being ordered to: - Write software to cheat emissions testing? - Do sub-optimal car repairs to hasten the next malfunction? - Design ads that they know include false or misleading information? - Use loopholes to avoid insurance payouts?

      To me, some obfuscated opt-outs still existing in major websites and software products seem genuinely unethical as a business practice. Not just “favoring business needs over user experience”, but intentionally misleading the user.

          It’s everywhere & it’s indeed a problem. Brain limitations are exploited by many. My point is that ux designers aren’t to blame when the practice is legal (unlike cheating about emissions). It’s the job of a director of UX to raise ethics pb & executives to define company values.

          And then of course it’s the job of consumers / customers / citizens to raise their voices and draw the line. So it’s great to raise flags but the people accountable are the ones benefitting from these dark patterns. Not necessarily the ones designing them (again, when legal).
