Comment on Consumer groups file complaint against SHEIN for dark patterns fuelling over-consumption

Dark Patterns is a broad term, but it’s also the worst aspect of commercialising “free” software/web services etc.
I hope the term is already part of whatever regulations the EU has there, and I hope this and similar complaints succeed.

I’m hopeful too. We need things like this to start moving in the opposite direction.
The internet and surveillance capitalism have allowed for hyper optimized psychological manipulation. It’s long past time for regulations to catch up.
