Dark patterns are user interface design techniques that manipulate or deceive users into taking certain actions or making decisions that may not be in their best interest. They are often used to nudge users towards behaviors such as making purchases, signing up for services, or consenting to data collection without fully understanding the implications.
Beware of websites using ‘Dark Patterns’ to
trick you into decisions you didn’t want to make. These are unethical design
choices meant to manipulate! 🖥️⚠️ #DarkPatterns #UXDesign #Ethics #Psychology
