Good job by #Zepto in fixing the #DripPricing #darkpattern and removing the hidden charges. The #PrivacyZuckering dark pattern continues as is though where pricing is altered based on user profile, device type and other personal information. It is critical #CCPA @jagograhakjago

Out of the platforms that have submitted self declarations to #CCPA @jagograhakjago on being #darkpattern free, over 20 of them still have dark patterns as of today. Kindly implement an effective check and balance process @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare so the entire initiative

This is clearly #DripPricing And here #Myntra has even given a self-declaration to @jagograhakjago #CCPA @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare claiming that it is #darkpattern free. Other dark patterns below like #ForcedAction (shipping an order even if the consumer has cancelled it on the
@myntra I noticed that an extra ₹23 Platform Fee is added at checkout, but it is not shown on the product page. This looks like drip pricing, which is listed as a dark pattern under Indian consumer protection guidelines. @MyntraSupport Look at this !

Changing prices on the last step after the consumer has selected the price/product combination qualifies as #ForcedAction #darkpattern which is the most common dark pattern with 73% of the 290 top Indian platforms using it. @Apollo24x7 there are several such concerns users have
@sachintaparia @jagograhakjago @PralhadJoshiOfc @blvermaup @Nimu_Bambhaniya @inidhikhare @PIB_India @mygovindia @PMOIndia @nch1915 @LocalCircles This is how @Apollo24x7 plays with policy,classic #DarkPattern drip pricing.

This is how companies dupe consumers. @ConsumerAffairs

Beware of this #DarkPattern by #Amazon. It gives you the illusion of a massive discount while if you read the fine print (easy to miss on the phone) it's actually an EMI. The actual cost is in small lettering.

How #darkpatterns are dealt with @JoshiPralhad @inidhikhare ! Quite different than the $2.5K fine #CCPA imposed on #Firstcry for #darkpattern violation. If you want platforms in India to take compliance seriously you must tie the #darkpattern #UnfairTradePractice to total

@arpit_vermaniac The homepage has a #darkpattern in how it shows the "Cred Cash". In this case, the user has not signed up for it, but it shows as an available cash when in fact it's a loan that requires a KYC and credit score. Presenting it as a "cash balance" is deceptive.

A lot of consumers lately seem upset with #PrimeVideo because they find they are being subjected to the #ForcedAction #DarkPattern. An OTT subscription sold & later rental charges imposed & advertisements introduced on most content. @VishnuFNO @ggganeshh @letscinema @nakulvibhor

This is how crap Twitter is designed (probably deliberately so) - you can like and even _reply_ to a tweet push notification for which you can't even read fully. #darkpattern #uxdesign

Beware of SaaS Billing – it’s a #DarkPattern! Don’t let a free trial turn into a paid trap! Many times, software services charge monthly or yearly fees - without your clear consent. If you notice any violation, call the National Consumer Helpline at 1915 or WhatsApp at 8800001915
