Those, along with others, are far from being innocent accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This interactive story is about exploring practices used in UX that trick users into giving their data away, called Dark Patterns. Woken up suddenly in The Cloud by randomly accepting the Terms &amp; Conditions, a boy tries to find his way back home with the help of an UX designer. However, he must deal with a few Dark Patterns that try to stop his quest and keep him in The Cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of the project is to raise awareness and make designers understand the importance of ethical design by creating healthy products that respect people\u2019s integrity and privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.data-empowerment.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-04-30-at-21.45.28-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.data-empowerment.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-04-30-at-21.45.28-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.data-empowerment.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-04-30-at-21.45.28-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.data-empowerment.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-04-30-at-21.45.28-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.data-empowerment.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-04-30-at-21.45.28.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><figcaption><em>Elida Rotaru<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Elida Rotaru Elida Rotaru is a graduation student in the Creative Business programme at the University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht.
