Dark Patterns Workshop | COSMO 2024
Booking trips, watching funny videos on YouTube, scrolling through Instagram - we use the internet all the time. Many things that used to cost money - such as information in magazines or correspondence with friends - now seem readily available and free of charge. But only apparently - if we don't pay with money, we pay with our personal data, our time or our attention. We often don't even notice this type of "payment" - websites often use "dark patterns" for this too. These are design patterns that disguise information, attract our attention or urge us to buy a product.
This workshop will provide information from a legal and psychological perspective on the appearance, mode of action and regulation of dark patterns. Based on this, participants will take action together: Where are you being manipulated online? Are you doing anything about it and if so, what? What other strategies for dealing with dark patterns are conceivable? What do you need to protect yourself from this type of influence?
These problems as well as possible solutions will be discussed together in this exciting workshop.
