TUDiSC & SLpB: Dark Patterns – Manipulative Design on the Web!?
Booking trips, watching funny videos on YouTube, scrolling through Instagram – we are using the internet all the time. Much of what used to cost money now appears to be readily available and free. But there is more to this than meets the eye. We may not be paying with money, but instead with our personal information, our time, or our attention. Often, we don't even notice that we are ‘paying’ – websites often use ‘dark patterns’ to elicit payment. The workshop in November will discuss information regarding forms of websites, how they operate, and how to regulate ‘dark patterns’.
