  • Understanding Dark Patterns

    Dark patterns are intentionally deceptive practices embedded into interfaces to manipulate user behavior. They often result in users inadvertently sharing personal information, subscribing to services, or making unintended purchases. The impact extends beyond digital platforms, seeping into various industries where manipulation reaps profits.


    A significant reason dark patterns are effective lies in their ability to exploit human psychology. By leveraging tendencies such as the path of least resistance or adhering to social norms, they influence decisions that might otherwise be avoided if users were fully informed.
