PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big "yes, try it" button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool

So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it's T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It's like mozilla saying directly "we don't care about your privacy".

I hate the anti-pattern of "Not Now". How about "No"?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 101 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, corporate dark patterns really don't respect consent. When would you like to know more: Now, or Later?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Though I don't mind the "accept, deny, ask me again later" for when something seems interesting but I don't want to put the effort into looking into it right at the moment but don't want to click yes without looking into it.

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

These should be the norm, actually.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, though it stops being as good if there's a "you can postpone this n more times" involved.

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Best I can do is accepting three options: "Yes," "No," and "Remind me later."

"Not now" or "No, I don't want this awesome feature" bullshit infuriates me.

These should be flatly illegal. No means no

We had a whole generation of people that were taught that 'no' means 'maybe later' (the whole point of the 'no means no' ads about daterapes), and that same generation is now running these companies. What did we expect to happen?
