Ugh. "Emotional design" is so annoying. Shutting down FB, it was like "THESE SIX PEOPLE WILL MIIIIIIISS YOU" and, yeah, I get it, and it's such a dark pattern.

Also, for iconoclasts like us, I feel it works in the other direction. "Well, then I'm going to definitely avoid whatever the fuck is trying to manipulate me like this."

But UX(ish) people get pressured to design this interface by the corporate fearmongers. So send Norton an email and tell them to knock it off. Or cancel and then send the email. Then that UX designer can say, "hey, this isn't working, and is in fact hurting."
