🎤 Session: Designed to Deceive: The Hidden Side of UX
🌐 Track: UX / Product Design
🗣️ Language: EN

In this session, Hiba uncovers the growing world of dark patterns—how they manipulate user behavior, why companies use them, and the psychological triggers behind them. You’ll explore real examples across web and mobile, analyze the ethical challenges they create, and learn clear, actionable alternatives rooted in transparency and trust.

Expect to walk away with the practical skills to identify deceptive UX tactics, advocate for ethical product decisions, and design human-centered experiences that respect users rather than exploit them.
