Are there any examples of white hat hackers or similar fighting against stuff like this?
Too much cyber harm is done to benign businesses and people already, so I wonder if there's ever some "for a good cause".
- netsharc 2y agoSome sort of browser extension that make users aware of the dark patterns would be interesting. As I write this I remember reading about one that removes them from booking.com: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bookingcalm/lihgcicimndjcfapacikhepdjichnepm https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bookingcalm/lihgcic... If I had the anger, starting such a project would be interesting. If they start applying counter-measures (like randomizing CSS classes, like Zuckbook does), one can smile in glee that they're spending money paying some developer to fight you.
