All in one stroke? Intervention Spaces for Dark Patterns

Arianna Rossi, Kerstin Bongard-Blanchy
Abstract:
This position paper draws from the complexity of dark patterns to develop arguments for differentiated interventions. We propose a matrix of interventions with a measure axis (from user-directed to environmentdirected) and a scope axis (from general to specific). We furthermore discuss a set of interventions situated in different fields of the intervention spaces. The discussions at the 2021 CHI workshop "What can CHI do about dark patterns?" should help hone the matrix structure and fill its fields with specific intervention proposals.
