India's Platforms Are Manipulating Millions Daily

Dark patterns are deceptive UI/UX designs tricking users into decisions they didn't intend — hidden charges, impossible cancellations, guilt-trip opt-outs, fake countdowns.

The CCPA 2023 Guidelines and Consumer Protection Act make these illegal. IndiGo and BookMyShow have already been penalised. You could be next.

⚡ CCPA mandated self-audits for all e-commerce platforms — only 25 of 290+ complied on time.
