How to Avoid Being Deceived on Black Friday?
π On the occasion of Black Week and Black Friday, in an article for TVN24 BiS, I discuss one of the most commonly encountered elements of deceptive design known as dark patterns in e-commerce.
I find inspiration for research, writing, and digital projects, which make up a significant part of my work, mainly in books, conversations, films, exhibitions, and podcasts. π¬ ππ» πΌ
One of the topics I delve into extensively and frequently is the psychology and ethics of design in the context of user behavior. I enjoy combining them with cultural sociology and history, as they are essential in attempting to understand certain phenomena. π¬ π
In my statement for TVN BiS, specifically, I cover:
β«οΈ What dark patterns are
β«οΈ Why they exist
β«οΈ Where we most commonly encounter them
β«οΈ Regulations surrounding them
β«οΈ What we can do to resist them
I would like to thank Joanna Rubin for inviting me to contribute to this article. π βοΈ
