Dark Patterns: User Interfaces Designed to Trick People
Robb Lewis and Ed Poole came up with a solution through a website Justdelete.me, which aggregates the "delete" pages of at least 100 popular sites. This website aims to be a directory of 'urls' to enable you to delete your Account from the web services. You can also submit the 'account delete page' of a site you know to Justdelete.me, that is not listed over there.
The links provided in the website Justdelete.me have been color coded to indicate the difficulty level of account deletion:
GREEN: Simple process,
YELLOW: Some extra steps involved,
RED: Cannot be fully deleted without consulting customer services,
BLACK: Cannot be deleted.
Examples:
- In order to delete Skype, you must know five contacts, your sign up email address, & the month you created your account.
- To delete Spotify, you have to contact the customer service.
- To delete your account in Vine, you have to contact Twitter directly.
