      I think there are two things about the underlying phenomenon that are worth noting and one thing about the article that makes my eyes roll into the back of my head casehttps://twitter.com/politicalmath/status/1143887599162908672 …

      I didn't realize there was legislation on regulating "dark patterns", which is using the subtle psychological art of interface design to trick users. Here is why I think regulation for big tech makes sense (even though I'm generally anti-regs) /1 https://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-dark-patterns-consumer-consent-20190625-story.html …

      BigTech companies can use all sorts of tricks to push behavior in one direction or another in the short term but users very quickly adapt and drop a product if it's pissing them off A large part of my job is pointing this out to managers and devs and trying to stop it

      The other issue is asymmetric costs around user agreements My skip level at the Fed talked about this a fair amount during the 08 crash, his cute term for it was "obfuscopoly" A company only has to create an agreement once; each of millions of users must pare the fine print

      This is actually a problem. I can see regulation being useful in concept, but per ushe the problem is in execution and I'm pretty skeptical of the government managing to improve on the status quo

      But with government, we have a chance to rewrite it. Too hard? So work to make it easier.

      really though the problem is that yeah we could make it easier to change laws but that wouldnt help probably it would make things worse because it wouldn't be selective other assholes would just have an easier time making laws I dont care to follow your not selling this
