DARK PATTERNS: DEFINITIONS AND EVIDENCE FOR REGULATORS
summary
Panel argues EU and US laws now name dark patterns (DSA, CPRA) and uses concrete enforcement examples: a ticket site hid an insurance opt‑out between Denmark and Finland causing many unintended purchases, cookie banners with no visible decline button led to sanctions, and an app gamification test drove 40% more trades. Regulators build behavioral audit tools and train staff, publish resources (design.cnil.fr) and a preliminary ontology of dark patterns; evidence collection is costly, mostly manual, and automation remains incomplete.
