Crystal Reeck, @kellenmrkva.bsky.social, @ericjjohnson.bsky.social, and I just wrote an article about digital design -- nudges and dark patterns. Though they can help people make good choices, they must be used wisely. Bad actors frequently use them to mislead. Check it out!

Thrilled to see the FTC finalize their junk fee rule. Markets work when consumers can easily observe the full price. Mandatory back-end fees make it hard to comparison shop, blunting the forces of competition. www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

#cnn did a great report www.cnn.com/interactive/... how dark defaults increase campaign donations, particularly among cognitively challenged older adults. Twicetalked to them. Important that they put real stories to the analysis that we did in #PNAS at www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Its been going on for years....We wrote Dan, I believe in 2006 when we read an NIH research talking about him presenting this (our) result. He responded that it was a misunderstanding and clarified it. That's a long standing misunderstanding now on National TV.

In the Netherlands, a peaceful protest was planned by academics to protest against the populist government's massive budget cuts in higher education. These protests have just been banned by the authorities for fear of violence. This is very worrying.
