Some great advice – I think "..something I wouldn't feel comfortable putting my name to." really sums it up.

I actually work in-house which adds to the complication as my advice could be overruled and downing tools may mean just leaving. However what you've suggested is generally how I choose to approach this subject. It's very difficult in this situation if you appear to be the one that "always has an issue" with something.

Thanks again

Hi Sarah,

I was wondering if you have any advice on how to deal with design requests that you feel are unethical? I'm thinking things you couldn't have predicted when taking on the job, like a checkbox dark pattern specified by the stakeholder. Do you educate, but do it anyway or consider downing tools?

Thanks Dave
