The Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Philippe Dufresne, spoke to present the results of the 2024 sweep on misleading design mechanisms, also known as "dark patterns." These design practices aim to manipulate or influence online users into making decisions they would not otherwise make, such as accepting dubious privacy terms or inadvertently subscribing to paid services. During his speech, Mr. Dufresne highlighted the main findings of this national investigation, emphasizing the importance of raising public awareness about digital manipulation tactics. He also stressed the need for companies to comply with ethical standards regarding design and the protection of personal data, reminding that stricter measures will be taken to ensure transparency and respect for user's rights.
