The Norwegian Consumer Council is asking "several" Norwegian and international companies to change practices after identifying their use of deceptive design to "push, manipulate and trick consumers into making choices that are in the companies' own interest." NCC Director of Digital Policy Finn Myrstad said many of the companies are likely in breach of legal requirements, but "loopholes and the lack of enforcement means that companies can often operate like this without fear of consequences."
