We are very happy to share that the lab was awarded an ISF grant for the Deep Analysis of Deceptive User Interface Design Patterns.

The goal of this project is to develop robust methods for identifying deceptive patterns (also known as “dark patterns”), those manipulative interface tricks we often encounter, designed to push us into buying more, signing up, or taking actions that serve the app or game more than the user.

Apps, we’re coming for your dark patterns.
