MANIPULATIVE DESIGN PRACTICES ONLINE: POLICY SOLUTIONS FOR THE EU AND THE US
summary
Dark patterns are shown to drive subscriptions, trick users into sharing sensitive data, and feed platform power—one example cites 80–85% market share for a mobile OS tied to location‑data harvesting; an EU complaint over those flows sits as a 3.5‑year unresolved complaint at the Irish DPC. Regulators point to section 5 deception/unfairness and to rulemaking under section 18, courts and slow enforcement limit remedies, and proposals range from a ban on surveillance-based advertising to procurement rules and a prohibited‑practices list with a catch‑all.
