- joedevon 7y agoOn the fence. I've been doing talks on ethics and dark patterns. And although most of my research for the talks are things I knew about as they happened, it feels different when you see it all together. Just scroll through the Wikipedia on FB criticism for a sense of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook (as an aside, criticism of Google ain't too shabby either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_google https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_google ) It's hard to look at this as something other than systematic, intentional trampling of decency. If no laws were broken, then we are missing some important laws. I wouldn't cry any tears if they were broken up, that's for sure. But the argument? Here it is: Facebook buys up any up and comer before they become a challenge. And if they don't sell like Instagram did and Snapchat didn't, they will crush them by copying them until the newcomer is completely crippled. How's Snap doing by the way?
