So … they shouldn’t have run a story on dark patterns? Just sweep it under the rug? It looks like this is the story: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/opinio

So … they shouldn’t have run a story on dark patterns? Just sweep it under the rug? It looks like this is the story: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/opinion/dark-pattern-internet-ecommerce-regulation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/opinion/dark-pattern-inte... Which I found really well done. In fact I think it shows how one part of the company can police the other by putting up articles like this. Your comment is like saying only Olympic level athletes can write articles on exercising.

If I was an ethical journalist, I would not run a story lambasting others for dark patterns until my own house was in order. And if I wanted to run the story anyway, I would at least mention that my own newspaper is guilty of the same thing for full disclosure.

  > If I was an ethical journalist, I would not run a story lambasting others for dark patterns until my own house was in order. I actually think it is unethical to suppress news like this, but fine, let's grant it for argument's sake. > And if I wanted to run the story anyway, I would at least mention that my own newspaper is guilty of the same thing for full disclosure. Fine, let's see what the article says: > The Times requires people to talk with a representative online or by phone to cancel subscriptions, but the researchers did not study it or other publishing sites. Okay, the paper being discussed didn't discuss the NYT, but the NYT journo decided to bring it up. We're good then.
