Screenshot of descriptive text from Verizon portal where you "Link" your bank account for automatic payments. Text reads: "Trustly Online Banking allows you to take control of your bank verified data. It makes ordinary tasks more convenient without leaving Verizon. It's simple and safe - your personal information is always encrypted and never stored or shared. Your bank password will not be seen by Verizon."
![Screenshot from Chase.com "link account" page.
Text reads: "Here's the data that will be shared with verizon"
Then a hideable text box, defaulted to open: "Account numbers (we'll substitute these) Verizon requires account and routing numbers to allow transactions [...] we share substitute account numbers"
Other sections, hidden except for the header: "Account types, names and other details", "Balances, transactions and rewards", "Contact Info"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jlxpt6ouzolvkl5zafi6ecaa/bafkreic3hjxxxznor6vin4sntiggfdecxnbjq4n3t55tdh4exjazny4yde)

Screenshot of same page, with "Balances, transactions and rewards" area open. Text reads: "This includes your balances at the beginning of the most recent business day, as well as all posted and pending transactions. Deposits, payments, fees, and rewards may also be included."
Screenshot of same page, with "Contact info" section expanded. Text reads: "This includes personally-identifiable info, including the owner names, primary address, email address, and phone number for each account, as well as the contact info from your profile."
#Verizon uses Trustly - This is what they show you by default. In typical bad faith #DarkPatterns it uses drop-downs to hide that Verizon gets your name, email, phone number and **account balance information and transaction information**. 100% guaranteed Verizon is monetizing this.

I don't know why I'm surprised, but I think its pretty evil of Tesco Bank to not put the date when your interest free period expires on balance transfers - on the PDFs of the statements or online. Almost as if they want you to miss that and start paying interest? Never! #darkPatterns

Manipulative design, or dark commercial patterns, exploit online interfaces to mislead and coerce users into choices against their best interest. Cambridge research shows these tactics significantly increase acceptance of digital offers. #DarkPatterns #ConsumerRights #TechEthics

Kodsnack 694 - Dark patterns … to rule them all. A dark gold ring with glowing letters in Tengwar sits on a map where locations are also named in Tengwar. The text on the ring itself is the episode title, the text on the map are various quotes from the episode.
In this week's Kodsnack, Sergés Goma talks dark patterns, ethical development, falling behind in tech, and more.

Absolutely loved the signup process, app, welcome process for Admiral Insurance (for car). I was a fan - planned to consider switching everything to them. Not so the canellation process which is *surprisingly* obtuse and convoluted. #darkpatterns

One thing that's always bothered me about the BandCamp interface is that there's no visual indication of which records are singles and which are multitrack recordings. I presume this is a Dark Pattern, intended to make people spend more time browsing the platform.

Kleiner Selbstschutz gegen #DarkPatterns im Netz:
• 3-Sekunden-Regel: Kurz innehalten, bevor man klickt. Oft erkennt man den Trick erst dann.
• AutoPlay abschalten
• Melden: Beschwerden gehen z.B. an Verbraucherzentralen oder die Bundesnetzagentur.

Ein Klick für das Abo, sechs Klicks für die Kündigung: #DarkPatterns gehören zum Standard vieler Websites. Sie nutzen unsere Gewohnheiten, Ungeduld und Aufmerksamkeitsschwächen. Wie diese Manipulation funktioniert – und warum sie ein strukturelles Problem ist, besprechen wir bei #9vor9.

Tech-Riesen wie Meta und Alphabet bauen bewusst „Dark Patterns“ in ihre Dienste — psychologisches Design, das Nutzer:innen süchtig macht und Daten absaugt. Das ist kein harmloses UX-Feature, sondern ein Geschäftsmodell auf Kosten unserer Selbstbestimmung. #ZDFheute
