  Many researchers have been concerned with social media and possible negative
impacts on the well-being of their audience. With the popularity of social
networking sites (SNS) steadily increasing, psychological and social sciences
have shown great interest in their effects and consequences on humans.
Unfortunately, it appears to be difficult to find correlations between SNS and
the results of their works. We, therefore, investigate Facebook using the tools
of HCI to find connections between interface features and the concerns raised
by these domains. With a nod towards Dark Patterns, we use an empirical design
analysis to identify interface interferences that impact users' online privacy.
We further discuss how HCI can help to work towards more ethical user
interfaces in the future.
