DARK BY DESIGN: REGULATING MANIPULATION IN ONLINE ENVIRONMENTS
summary
Panel documents that dark patterns are widespread and effective — studies find 90% of UK cookie banners and 95% of top apps using manipulative interfaces, and regulators and NGOs file enforcement actions (including five complaints against Google and Amazon). Remedies discussed include ACM guidelines, CNIL’s Data & Design platform and workshops, a legal innovation/user research lab that rebuilt a clearer privacy policy, proposals for an open ban-plus-blacklist approach, browser-level consent settings and bans on cookie walls to limit nagging consent.
