The guy whining in the blog post exactly opted in.
- flexxaeon 13y agoFor context: > FounderDating asked me to identify ten that I would vouch for. I didn’t have to do it but I thought oh well, I guess I’ll do it and see what happens. So all I did was click their photos. Nothing more. Can't speak to the rest of the flow but clicking photos indeed sounds like opting in.
- nym 13y agoYes, he opted in to "vouch for" those people. A ethical UX designer would have shown a modal showing the full message with the list of people it would go to BEFORE sending it on the user's behalf.
- PebblesRox 13y agoI think we all agree that he opted in to vouching for the people. The complaint is that it wasn't clear that vouching also entailed sending a message if you didn't opt out of the message portion.
- nym 13y agoHe opted in for one action, and was signed up for two actions. How is the second action considered opt-in? He clearly did not give his full consent because the UI was designed to bury the thing that he would have explicitly opted-out of.
