Understanding dark patterns is essential for a privacy technologist to reduce the risk of manipulating a user's choice. Dark patterns are user interface designs crafted to trick users into making decisions they might not otherwise make, often leading to privacy violations. By identifying and avoiding these deceptive designs, privacy technologists can ensure that users' choices are respected and that the principles of consent and transparency are upheld. This aligns with the IAPP’s CIPT materials that emphasize ethical considerations and user autonomy in privacy practices.
