| Specific Issues for Discussion | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Deceptive designs, also commonly known as “dark patterns” have become a global concern that hurts privacy, consumer protection, and trust building. Design defaults like these are prevalent in many people's day-to-day online experiences, preventing the global majority from fully benefiting from the advancements of the internet. In particular, deceptive designs have a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, including senior citizens, women and gender minorities, children, families with lower incomes, and people who are less digitally connected. It has been a difficult problem to tackle, partially because the language we use to address deceptive design means different things to different stakeholders. Also, the interventions often come in silos, whether it is policy and regulations or ethical design initiatives. The most widespread example of this is the GDPR regulations against tracking cookies versus the trending solutions to create cookie banners that utilize manipulative designs to collect user data. Designers do not want to make deceptive design, and most platforms do not want to perpetuate it, but many are not in conversation with each other on the implications and potential in moving away from deceptive design to trusted design. This workshop brings together researchers, policy experts, designers, and members of civil society to discuss different models for solutions, identify major blocks in the existing efforts, and compare regional experiences tackling the issue and advancing an alternative future with trusted design. The Web Foundation is currently running a Technology Policy Design Lab, a co-creation workshop series to design recommendations that will culminate at the end of September 2022 and be shared widely and sustained through our network of partners. The workshop discussion will bring insights in examining the final report of the program, which aims to spark in-depth collaborations across stakeholders and effective policy decision |

| Describe the Relevance of Your Session to APrIGF | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Deceptive designs are most relevant to the Trust including privacy, data governance, tech regulation, surveillance, multistakeholderism, digital rights, and cyber norms. Deceptive designs are a global concern that currently have disproportionate impact on those most vulnerable, but which are also difficult to tackle partly because the tools and language we use to address deceptive design mean different things to different audiences and key stakeholders. While policymakers attempt to write laws that regulate technology platforms, web and UX designers are too often not included in the intent of the law and the result is poor design that does not meet the regulation’s true intention. The most widespread example of this is the GDPR regulations against cookies- the UX that has followed is a popup on every website that says accept all cookies or make a selection, resulting more often than not in consumers accepting all tracking cookies leading to the same scenario before the law was created. Designers do not want to make deceptive design, and most platforms do not want to perpetuate it, but many are not in conversation with each other on the implications and potential in moving away from deceptive design to trusted design. The Web Foundation is currently running a Technology Policy Design Lab with their co-creation workshop series to design recommendations, and culminating at the end of September 2022 to be shared widely and sustained through our network of partners. Including a session at the IGF on deceptive design will directly contribute to a report that will be shared widely and influence and affect government and platform policy decisions. |
