Govt Orders E-commerce Firms to Audit and Remove Dark Patterns

The government is making sure online stores and apps don't trick you with sneaky tactics called "dark patterns."

They want these companies to check their sites and remove any tricks that might confuse or mislead you.

A meeting was held with businesses and consumer groups.

The goal is to make sure that online shopping is fair and that you know what you're agreeing to.

They also have tools like the Jagriti App and dashboard to help consumers.
