CCPA's advisory on dark patterns sent to over 50 online platforms

India's consumer protection watchdog recently issued an advisory to over 50 online platforms, asking them to eliminate dark patterns and conduct self-audits in three months. The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) sent the directive not just to e-commerce giants such as Amazon and Flipkart, but also to travel aggregators, food-tech platforms, ride-hailing firms, meditech start-ups, streaming services, and fintech companies. Business Standard reviewed a copy of the June 5 email, which noted ongoing instances of dark pattern use despite existing guidelines. In some cases, the CCPA said it had issued notices. The advisory cited Rule 4(9) of the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, which mandates that consumer consent for purchases must be explicitly obtained — not automatically recorded through pre-ticked checkboxes or similar mechanisms. Flipkart, in a statement, said the company welcomes the CCPA's emphasis on fostering online consumer confidence. "At Flipkart, our commitment to develop & run an open, transparent, technology driven marketplace focused on our customers is in complete sync with the government's focus. Our active collaboration with the government and other stakeholders has been key to jointly shaping a responsible e-commerce ecosystem. We constantly keep assessing and self-audit requirements to ensure comprehensive and timely compliance , and we see this advisory as a reaffirmation of the values already central to our Flipkart Marketplace Platform," the statement added. Another platform acknowledged the advisory but noted that the dark pattern guidelines are not legally binding. It argued that such practices are not an industry-wide issue and that firms experiment with design elements to boost engagement and sales. Business Standard wrote to platforms including Amazon, Meesho, Apple, Uber, BookMyShow, Paytm, Namma Yatri, Meta, Nykaa, Zomato, Swiggy, BigBasket, Tata 1mg, and Snapdeal. However, these queries did not elicit a response till the time of going to press.

The advisory cited Rule 4(9) of the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, which mandates that consumer consent for purchases must be explicitly obtained — not automatically recorded through pre-ticked checkboxes or similar mechanisms. Companies are still evaluating the advisory. Flipkart, in a statement, said the company welcomes the CCPA's emphasis on fostering online consumer confidence. 'We are currently assessing the self-audit requirements to ensure comprehensive and timely compliance, and we see this advisory as a reaffirmation of the values already central to our Flipkart Marketplace Platform.' The statement further added: 'Flipkart has been committed towards the dark pattern guidelines and has taken several measures to increase its awareness. Our active collaboration with the government and other stakeholders has been key to jointly shaping a responsible e-commerce ecosystem.'

However, these queries did not elicit a response till the time of going to press. Dark patterns refer to deceptive or manipulative design elements in websites or mobile applications that trick users into taking actions they might not have intended, such as making a purchase or subscribing to a service. In 2023, the government issued guidelines identifying 13 specific types of dark patterns. These include tactics such as creating false urgency, adding items to a cart without consent (basket sneaking), guilt-tripping users (confirm shaming), forcing actions, trapping users in subscriptions (subscription traps), manipulating interfaces (interface interference), bait-and-switch tactics, hiding full costs (drip pricing), disguising advertisements, persistent prompts (nagging), misleading wording, unclear SaaS billing practices, and deceptive malware behaviours (rogue malware).

Poco F7 is coming to India possibly in few weeks, here is everything we know about it

Just when you thought the mid-range smartphone market couldn't get any more crowded, Poco is ready to stir the pot again. The Xiaomi sub-brand has officially confirmed that its next big release – the Poco F7 – is heading to India later this month. While Flipkart's teaser page doesn't spill the beans on the exact launch date, the clues are there, hidden in plain sight, and the buzz is growing louder by the day. But what exactly is the Poco F7, and why is it getting so much attention before launch? Let's find out. advertisementPoco F7 to launch soon Although Poco hasn't formally revealed the specifications just yet, leaks and informed whispers suggest that the F7 will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, a device currently limited to the Chinese market. The Indian version, if the rumours hold true, will likely mirror its Chinese sibling's feature set. And there's a lot to look forward to. At the heart of the Poco F7 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, Qualcomm's newest mid-premium processor that delivers near-flagship performance. This is the same chip used in the recently launched iQOO Neo 10, and it's built to handle gaming, multitasking, and more without breaking a The F7 is also tipped to boast a 6.83-inch flat LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 1,800 nits, making it ideal for binge-watching, scrolling and sunlit streaming. One of the most talked-about features is the 7,550mAh Silicon Carbon battery. It is expected to sport a 90W wired fast charger, which should refill the phone fairly quickly despite the massive battery size. But, there is no wireless charging, it the camera, the leaks suggest that the Poco F7 may sport a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 primary sensor, joined by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, which sounds decent. There's no word on the selfie camera yet, but if it follows the Redmi model, it'll likely be serviceable rather than Poco F7 is expected to ship with HyperOS 2, Xiaomi's latest Android-based interface, built over Android 15. While still in its early stages, HyperOS is expected to focus on improved performance, smoother animations and better resource management. In terms of internal hardware, the phone may come with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a whopping 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. That's the kind of combo usually reserved for flagship-tier devices. Security will likely be handled by an in-display optical fingerprint scanner, and dual stereo speakers are almost a given at this price F7: Price and availabilityadvertisementThe Poco F7 will be available soon and is listed on Flipkart. While the Chinese variant comes in Black, White, and Green, it remains unclear which finishes will make their way to India. Poco could introduce new colours tailored to the Indian market or simply carry over the existing for the pricing, insiders suggest that the Poco F7 will fall between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000, much like its predecessor. If that's the case, it could offer serious value, undercutting competitors with similar specs.
