Despite the new GDPR regulation entering into effect across Europe, Facebook and Google are manipulating users into sharing personal data by leveraging misleading wording and confusing interfaces, according to a report released today by the Norwegian Consumer Council (NCC).
In its 44-page report, the Norwegian agency accuses Google and Facebook of using so-called "dark patterns" user interface elements into "nudging" users towards accepting privacy options.
