It is becoming increasingly hard for people to protect privacy on the internet. People often do not know their privacy is violated when they read news on websites, search for food recipes, or connect with their friends and family on social media platforms. To raise awareness about privacy issues on the internet, we have launched Nothing to Hide? A Data Privacy Podcast. The podcast is organized by researchers from ProperData . Our objective is to disseminate latest privacy research to general audience so that people are informed and can take initiatives to protect their privacy.

Episode 02: Dark Patterns across Web and Mobile Modalities

This week we (Hieu and Haroon) are talking about dark patterns, which are user interfaces designed to influence a user’s behavior across different mobile and web platforms. For example, requiring users to provide their credit card numbers when signing up for trials or nudging them into buying products using deceptive practices. However, more subtle dark patterns also exist such as simply highlighting the more egregious choice for the user in a consent form by default. Today’s guest, Johanna Gunawan (NEU), will provide us deeper insight into how these dark patterns emerge whether by intention or simple negligence. For more information, see the paper, "A Comparative Study of Dark Patterns Across Web and Mobile Modalities" at https://johannagunawan.com/assets/pdf/gunawan-2021-cscw.pdf.
