I think the statement would be more meaningful with "if they have the choice" removed. Otherwise, you're just arguing in favor of only those with the power to remove choice.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoI think you misunderstood what they were saying. How can someone refuse if they don't have choice?
- kodablah 6y agoExactly, the focus should be on avoiding what the user doesn't like, not just avoiding what the user doesn't like if there's a choice involved. If the Apple-made tool referenced in the article were subject to the same choice dialog, what might the result be? The simple presentation of the choice is what picks the winners, not the users' preferences.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoThat's exactly what he was saying. If users having a choice would result in them never wanting a certain behavior, it shouldn't be in there.
