[Feature?] [Cli] Confusing wording in start up quiz

[cibersheep]

1 - Install cli

• user is asked if it's ok to automatically publish results
• Select no
• keep installation process

2 - Run probe

On the first run (I assume) it will show this quiz:

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Pop Quiz!                ┃
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

? Anyone monitoring my internet activity may be able to see that I am running OONI Probe. true
Good job!
? The network data I will collect will automatically be published (unless I opt-out in the settings). false
Actually...e
The network data you will collect will automatically be published to increase
transparency of internet censorship (unless you opt-out in the settings).
? Do you want to change the default settings? Yes

I find the wording confusing:

• Are those questions? They start by a closing question mark.
• True / false what? Are they statements? So I want them to be false? Are they false? Are you asking me if the sentence / question should be false?
• Why been asked again? I already opt-out in the installing process a moment ago

So, I would make the sentences clearer. Are they a question? Statement? Information?
Make answers explicit, avoid ok/cancel true/false answers.
I suggest something more in the fashion of:

• 1. Running OONI Probe may be monitored by [...]. Is that ok with you?: I'm ok with this activity being visible / I'm not ok with this activity being visible
• 2. The network data I will collect will automatically be published. Is that ok?: Publish automatically / I'll publish manually
• Ask 2) only if we didn't ask before. Or ask only on the first run
• 3. Do you want to set this settings as default settings? Save as default / Use this settings this time

This is a good point. We haven't done proper UX work on the CLI workflow for the quiz.

We cannot say "Is that ok with you?", because unfortunately we can't do anything about it. Any activity of any app can be seen by a network observer. Our goal is to inform the user about it and make sure they are aware of the risks.

I think what we can do instead is say, before everything:

To confirm your understanding of the OONI Probe functionality, can you answer the following statement with true/false

Or something along these lines

I agree about your second point about only asking it if we didn't ask before, though in theory we should always be submitting data like we do on desktop/mobile.

Thanks for the reply.

We cannot say "Is that ok with you?",

Oh, that's interesting. Then I would suggest not ask about it. This might be the way of doing this. Inform the user. Like this:

[...] unfortunately we can't do anything about it. Any activity of any app can be seen by a network observer.

It is clear that is not a question, just a warning. Or a statement.

With this approach:

I think what we can do instead is say, before everything:

To confirm your understanding of the OONI Probe functionality, can you answer the following statement with true/false

I think we are in the same place.

• Confirm that you understand [...]: True

Am I right if I guess you are looking for a way to be sure the user read the statement? If so, I would go into something a more human-like answer and less «code-like»:

• Confirm that you understand [...]: confirm (understood?) / disagree (or similar)

I'm still guessing here. But, if the user doesn't agree to X points of the quiz, what will happen? Stop the cli? Do you need the user to not use the program?
Depending on what is needed I would go one rout or the other.

One approach could be something in the lines of:

-> Anyone monitoring my internet activity may be able to see that I am running OONI Probe.
I disagree

OONI Probe has no way of hide the activity (similar answer according to the sentence that the user disagreed with). Find more information about this issue on www.[...].com/[...]
