Shining a light on dark patterns with Carey Parker

This week on Lock and Code, we speak to cybersecurity advocate and author Carey Parker about "dark patterns," which are subtle tricks online to get you to make choices that might actually harm you. Maybe you'll be bilked out a couple dollars, maybe you'll find it nearly impossible to unsubscribe out of that newsletter, or maybe you'll see yourself signing away some of your data privacy controls just so a company can keep making more money off you.  Tune in to learn about dark patterns—how to spot them, what any future fixes might look like, and what one company is doing to support you—on the latest episode of Lock and Code, with host David Ruiz.
