Deceptive Patterns

Web resource for understanding and exposing deceptive user interface design practices

The original website about deceptive patterns (also known as “dark patterns”) - tricks used in websites and apps that make you do things that you didn't mean to, like buying or signing up for something.

Deceptive Patterns focuses on raising awareness about dark patterns, which are manipulative designs that trick users into making choices they didn't intend to. The site categorizes various forms of deceptive designs such as 'Confirmshaming', 'Forced Action', and 'Fake Urgency', providing examples from major companies and discussing relevant laws. It serves as a resource for understanding how design can impact user behavior and decision-making.
