- If the problem persists, users will continue to be blocked from accessing Le Monde content until they resolve the multiple login issue by implementing one of the offered solutions.
Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The repetitive nature of the message creates a framing bias. The emphasis is consistently on the user's perceived violation of the single-device access rule, rather than offering a clear, concise solution upfront. This could frustrate users and make it difficult to find the resolution.
Language Bias
The language is somewhat accusatory ("another person (or you)") implying wrongdoing even if accidental. The phrase "assure that you are the only person" is also quite demanding. Neutral alternatives would be: "If you are accessing your account from multiple devices, please log out of the other device(s)" or "To resolve this, ensure only one device is actively using your account.
Bias by Omission
The message omits details on how to log out from other devices. It mentions clicking a button (" ») but does not explicitly state where this button is located in the user interface. This omission makes the solution less accessible.
False Dichotomy
The message presents a false dichotomy: either the user is the sole account user or they need to create multiple accounts/upgrade their plan. It doesn't offer troubleshooting options for legitimate simultaneous access scenarios (e.g., due to unstable internet connection).
