He was part of the legal team behind Shreya Singhal v. Union of India — the case that struck down Section 66A of the IT Act. For over a decade, Apar has litigated India's biggest digital rights cases — fighting censorship, mass surveillance, and blocking orders against every government in power, not just this one. Where most tech commentary in India stays in English op-eds, he operates inside the courtrooms actually shaping what you can post, watch, and read online. Blunt, uninterested in TV-panel theatrics, and clear that free speech in India isn't dying — it's being managed.In this episode, Vinamre and Apar discuss:Data mining, dark patterns, and how apps profile you before you even sign upHyderabad's surveillance, the 26/11 tapes, and "national security" as an excuse for overreachAI and privacy — books pulped for LLM training, and lawyers already using ClaudeFighting every government — 6000 blocking orders, the Section 66A win, and Meta/X's deals with the stateSelf-censorship among creators, and what politicians want from podcasters.Follow Apar Gupta on: X: https://x.com/apar1984 Internet Freedom Foundation: https://internetfreedom.inTimestamps:0:00 – Coming Up1:30 – Data Mining At Cafes6:15 – Individualised Pricing Explained10:34 – Dark Patterns In Apps12:07 – How Cookies Track You15:08 – Who Sells Your Data18:11 – Right To Privacy India22:43 – Indian Police Structure Problem24:51 – Hyderabad Most Surveilled City25:43 – National Security vs Privacy28:45 – 26/11 & David Headley31:50 – Running AI On Your Data37:50 – How Apar Stays Private38:52 – Health Tracking & Screen Time40:19 – Books Pulped For AI43:09 – AI-Written Manifestos44:35 – Lawyers Using Claude AI46:14 – Why Telegram Got Banned51:16 – WhatsApp vs Telegram vs Signal53:30 – How Apar Started IFF59:07 – Fighting Every Government1:00:38 – Free Speech In India1:04:10 – RK Laxman & Satire1:08:10 – Govt Deal With Meta & X1:12:10 – Congress Era Censorship1:17:12 – 6000 Blocking Orders1:21:30 – Creators Self-Censoring1:26:16 – Why X Still Runs In India1:30:48 – Clickbait Headlines Game1:33:48 – Rise Of New Media1:36:48 – Politicians & Podcasters1:42:51 – Substack & Media Prestige1:45:38 – Future Of Internet Freedom1:48:56 – Digital Literacy & Jobs1:53:27 – Can We Log Off?1:57:59 – Writing On Paper Again2:01:34 – Dark Web Reality2:04:01 – Nehru Place Computer Market2:04:38 – Blue Whale Challenge2:07:07 – Apar's Book Influences2:13:12 – Conclusion====================================================================Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.He spends a significant part of his time reading and researching.With over 500 podcasts under his belt, he's interviewed everyone—from HNIs and industry leaders to everyday superheroes.Follow Vinamre:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinamre-kasanaa-b8524496/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinamrekasanaa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/VinamreKasanaaDostcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dostcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dostcast====================================================================Contact Us:For business inquiries: dostcast@egiplay.com

Clark's first business was a travel agency and he specialized in saving his clients money. Travel costs are challenging now, with airlines facing higher fuel expenses and travelers paying the price. Clark shares his back-to-basics strategy for finding affordable trips, including why flexibility is your greatest money-saving tool. Learn why Clark lets the deal determine the destination, how shoulder-season airfare pricing can create opportunities for savings, and why being a "free agent" when booking flights can help you see more of the world for less. Also, Clark explains the growing problem of "dark patterns" online—those annoying popups, misleading buttons, and sneaky subscription tactics designed to manipulate your decisions. While many of these practices aren't illegal, they are deceptive and can lead to unwanted purchases and recurring charges if you're caught unaware. Know what to watch for and how to avoid getting tricked into spending money you never intended to spend. Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take.

Why does it seem so difficult to cancel an online subscription, delete an account, or opt out of data tracking? You might think it's just bad luck or a confusing online interface, but more often than not, it's by design. In this episode of Big Brains, we speak with Marshini Chetty, Professor in the University of Chicago's Department of Computer Science. As a leading expert in human-computer interaction, Chetty reveals the science behind "dark patterns” online—the subtle, manipulative design choices woven into the apps and websites we use every day. We explore how these deceptive interfaces weaponize human psychology to keep us clicking, spending and sharing our data. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Phase 4 Crew returns to review the 2nd half of Batman: Dark Patterns !
The thing everyone agrees is the right way to work has quietly produced some of the worst corporate ethics violations in modern history.Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Leader Om Patel discuss and debate how outcome-based goals can and often do go catastrophically wrong - from Facebook to Wells Fargo - and introduce a stakeholder outcome mapping tool you can use immediately.Listen or watch to understand:How outcome-based OKRs quietly enable the worst ethics failuresThe invisible gorilla experiment which illustrates how goals function as mental blindersThe headlines test for stress-testing your goalsA stakeholder outcome mapping exercise to surface hidden tradeoffsWhy the system doesn't need evil people - just good people with bad incentivesThis podcast is for anyone who is looking to understand how the efforts of well-meaning and "not-evil" people can and often does go off the rails. It may also be tangentially useful to leaders who are tired of pretending outcome goals are automatically ethical... but you first must WANT to change....and if you do like this one, get ready for a Part 2 next where we'll discuss WHY the damage from outcome-based goals is often invisible until it's too late, why organizations systematically destroy whistleblowers, and what Deming figured out decades ago that the tech industry still ignores!#ProductEthics #OKRs #ProductManagementState of Product 2026 by Atlassian, Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, Facebook's Ethical Failures Are Not a Bug They Are a Feature by Betty (2021), Invisible Gorilla Experiment, Locke and Latham Goal Setting Theory, DemingLINKSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596INTRO MUSICToronto Is My BeatBy Whitewolf (Source: https://ccmixter.org/files/whitewolf225/60181)CC BY 4.0 DEED (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en)

Nur noch ein Video, nur noch ein Post – und schon ist eine Stunde vergangen. Social-Media-Plattformen, Online-Shops und Spiele wollen uns möglichst lange am Bildschirm halten. Über die Suchtfalle Smartphone dreht sich diese Folge von c't uplink. Mit welchen Tricks die Anbieter die Aufmerksamkeit der Nutzerinnen und Nutzer einfangen – und was man dagegen tun kann, darüber diskutieren die c't Redakteure Andrea Trinkwalder, Jo Bager und Holger Bleich mit Moderator Keywan Tonekaboni. Holger Bleich erklärt, ab wann die Wissenschaft von problematischer Nutzung spricht und warum Jugendliche besonders anfällig sind. Andrea Trinkwalder hat sich den Empfehlungsalgorithmus von TikTok genauer angesehen: Warum spielt die App in Echtzeit so treffsicher Videos aus? Und welche Rolle spielt neben der Belohnung auch gezieltes Enttäuschen der Erwartung? Die sogenannten Dark Patterns – jene Designtricks in Shops, Spielen und Apps, die uns zum Kauf drängen oder im Abo-Hamsterrad halten – nimmt Jo Bager auseinander. Die Runde diskutiert außerdem, was die EU mit dem Digital Services Act erreichen kann, warum die Verfahren so quälend lange dauern und ob ein Social-Media-Verbot für Jugendliche tatsächlich die Lösung ist. Aber die Vier aus der c't Redaktion geben auch praktische Tipps, wie man die Tricks und Fallen umschifft oder abmildert.

Maciej wrócił i od razu zaczęło się na poważnie. Rozmawiamy o dark patterns w e-commerce — czyli tych sprytnych zagrywkach projektowych, które sprawiają że kupujesz rzeczy których nie chciałeś. UOKiK ma na to sposób i omawiamy co z tego wyniknie. Przy okazji — nowa strona LPK, szybki przegląd serialowy (One Piece, anime i kontrowersyjny Snape), Pokémon Pokopia który wciągnął Adama bez ostrzeżenia i KitKat który "zgubił" transport limitowanych batoników.

Ever tried to tap your card at the pump… and it just doesn't work? Or scanned a QR code at a restaurant that leads nowhere? Yeah—this episode is about that. John and Josh vent about all the little (and big) ways businesses make life harder for customers, then connect it back to banking—where clunky apps, over-the-top security, and broken systems can cost you real relationships.

Dans cet épisode de "Comment j'ai réussi", Marie Potel-Saville, avocate de formation et cofondatrice de Fairpatterns, nous ouvre les yeux sur un phénomène inquiétant du web : les dark patterns. Ces pièges en ligne, conçus pour exploiter nos biais cognitifs et nous faire prendre des décisions que nous n'aurions pas prises autrement, sont malheureusement devenus monnaie courante sur la plupart des sites web et applications.Marie Potel-Saville commence par nous expliquer en détail ce que sont ces dark patterns : des cases à cocher pré-cochées, de fausses promotions, un design addictif ou encore des changements de prix de dernière minute. Selon les chiffres de la Commission européenne, 97% des sites web en Europe sont concernés, causant un préjudice de près de 8 milliards d'euros par an aux consommateurs.Bien que la réglementation interdise pourtant ces pratiques, leur mise en application reste difficile. Heureusement, la situation est en train d'évoluer, avec de nombreuses procédures judiciaires lancées au niveau européen contre les géants du numérique comme TikTok, Meta ou encore Shein. Des amendes conséquentes, à l'image de la transaction de 2,5 milliards de dollars entre Amazon et la FTC aux États-Unis, sont à prévoir dans les années à venir.Face à ce constat alarmant, Marie Potel-Saville a décidé d'agir en créant Fairpatterns, un outil permettant aux entreprises de détecter et de remédier à ces dark patterns. Son pari ? Démontrer qu'il est possible de concevoir des interfaces digitales engageantes et rentables, tout en respectant la liberté de choix des utilisateurs. Un défi de taille, mais nécessaire pour rétablir la confiance dans le monde numérique.Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
Fredrik chats to Sergès Goma about dark patterns and her Øredev presentation on them. We start off by talking about giving presentations and the background to the dark patterns talk. All the great versions of a talk - you never know what's going to happen. Dark patterns and ethics in software development are topics people like to share their experiences of. And it's easy to get caught in the pull between protecting your user and finishing your tickets. We as developers do have a lot of power, but we also have a job to do. Making (good) ethical decisions business decisions instead can suddenly get them budget and priority. Laws are good at creating such pressures sometimes. Toward the end, we discuss falling behind in tech, and Sergès gets Fredrik to make some predictions about the AI bubble before wrapping up on a positive note. Recorded during Øredev 2025.

Jim Love discusses how rapid adoption of agentic AI is repeating the industry pattern of shipping technology without security, citing issues like vulnerabilities in Anthropic's MCP and insecure open-source agent tools. He interviews Ido Shlomo, co-founder and CTO of Token Security, who argues AI agents are fundamentally hard to secure because they are non-deterministic, have infinite input/output space, and often require broad permissions to be useful. Cybersecurity Today would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast. Meter delivers a complete networking stack, wired, wireless and cellular in one integrated solution that's built for performance and scale. You can find them at Meter.com/cst Shlomo proposes focusing security on access, identity, attribution, least privilege, and auditability rather than trying to filter prompts and outputs, and describes Token's "intent-based permission management" approach that maps agents and sub-agents as non-human identities tied to their purpose and allowed actions. The conversation covers real-world risks such as developer tools like Claude Code running with extensive access, widespread over-provisioning of admin permissions and API keys, exposure of unencrypted local token files, and misconfigurations that leak data publicly. Shlomo recommends organizations build governance processes for agents—discovery/inventory, boundary setting, continuous monitoring, and secure decommissioning—and says AI is needed to help police AI. He also highlights emerging trends like agent teams and multi-day autonomous tasks, and notes Token Security is a top-10 finalist in the RSA Innovation Sandbox 2026, planning to present an intent-and-access-focused security model for AI agents. 00:00 Sponsor: Meter's integrated networking stack 00:19 Why agentic AI security is breaking (MCP & open-source chaos) 02:53 Meet Token Security: practical guardrails for AI agents 04:57 Why you can't just ban agents at work (shadow AI reality) 06:24 Tel Aviv's cybersecurity pipeline: gaming, military, and startups 08:57 Why AI/agents are fundamentally hard to secure (new OS + 'human spirit') 13:44 Trust, autonomy, and permissions: managing the blast radius 18:17 Real-world exposure: Claude Code and the developer identity attack surface 20:16 A workable approach: treat agents as untrusted processes with identity + least privilege 22:33 Zero Trust for Agents: Access ≠ Permission to Act 23:27 Token's "Intent-Based Permission Management" Explained 25:29 Building the Identity Map: Tracing What Agents Touch 26:52 The Secret Sauce: Using AI to Secure AI in Real Time 28:10 Real-World Case: 1,500 Agents and Wildly Over-Provisioned Access 30:57 CUA 'Computer-Use' Agents: Exciting, Personal… and Terrifying 34:44 Secure-by-Default & Sandboxing: Fixing 'Always Allow' Dark Patterns 35:36 What Security Teams Should Do Now: Inventory, Boundaries, Governance 37:59 What's Next: Agent Teams and Multi-Day Autonomous Work 40:10 Tony Stark Vision: Agents That Improve the Human Experience 41:02 RSA Innovation Sandbox: Token's Big Bet on Intent + Access 43:01 Wrap-Up, Audience Q&A, and Sponsor Message

This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're bringing you Aza Raskin's conversation with Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger on their podcast “Possible”. Reid and Aria are both tech entrepreneurs: Reid is the founder of LinkedIn, was one of the major early investors in OpenAI, and is known for his work creating the playbook for blitzscaling. Aria is the former CEO of DoSomething.org. This may seem like a surprising conversation to have on YUA. After all, we've been critical of the kind of “move fast” mentality that Reid has championed in the past. But Reid and Aria are deeply philosophical about the direction of tech and are both dedicated to bringing about a more humane world that goes well. So we thought that this was a critical conversation to bring to you, to give you a perspective from the business side of the tech landscape. In this episode, Reid, Aria, and Aza debate the merits of an AI pause, discuss how software optimization controls our lives, and why everyone is concerned with aligned artificial intelligence — when what we really need is aligned collective intelligence. This is the kind of conversation that needs to happen more in tech. Reed has built very powerful systems and understands their power. Now he's focusing on the much harder problem of learning how to steer these technologies towards better outcomes.RECOMMENDED MEDIAAza's first appearance on “Possible”The website for Earth Species Project“Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil PostmanThe Moloch's Bargain paper from StanfordRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESThe Man Who Predicted the Downfall of ThinkingAmerica and China Are Racing to Different AI FuturesTalking With Animals...

The Indian government is losing patience with consumer-tech platforms using dark patterns or manipulative design tricks.In late May 2024, Consumer Affairs Minister, Pralhad Joshi, gathered the country's biggest internet companies, Amazon, Google, Zomato, Ola Electric, etc to give them an ultimatum: clean up your user interfaces by September 5 or face the consequences.From hidden fees on Amazon to guilt-inducing pop-ups on Indigo, these tactics push users into spending more money, sharing more data, or giving up more control, often without realising it. And they're deeply baked into how these companies grow, making them hard to remove without hurting the bottom line.Tune in.**This episode was first published on 11 August, 2025Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

AI is becoming the most powerful surveillance machine ever built and most people are feeding it their deepest secrets without realizing who can read them. Proton founder Andy Yen joins Bankless to explain how Big Tech captures your identity, why AI chat logs are a privacy disaster waiting to happen, and what a self-sovereign, user-aligned future could look like. We explore how AI models profile you, why subscription business models don't guarantee privacy, how Proton built Lumo without retaining user data, and why encrypted email remains the cornerstone of your digital identity. Andy also breaks down EU “chat control,” Apple's privacy-washing, the crisis of trust in crypto, and the practical steps anyone can take today to reclaim their digital freedom. ---
Recorded live at SocialWest 2025, this episode features Andrew Turnbull, Managing Director of UX and Product at Evans Hunt, in conversation with guest host Meredith McKeough. Together, they explore the growing problem of “hostile user design” and how large platforms are enshittification experiences in the name of growth.Andrew shares insights from over 15 years in UX, using the Sonos redesign as a cautionary tale of business decisions eroding user trust. The conversation moves from platform-level design trends to what smaller businesses can learn, and avoid. They dig into the systems thinking required to scale responsibly, how to balance growth with respect for your users, and why customer feedback is still your most powerful strategic asset.This episode captures the mood shift in 2025 toward more ethical, user-first digital strategies, and how marketers and designers alike can push back on enshittification by prioritizing clarity, consent, and long-term value.
