India launches apps to combat deceptive e-commerce practices on National Consumers Day.

The Indian Department of Consumer Affairs is launching three apps on National Consumers Day, December 24, to protect consumers from deceptive design practices in e-commerce. The 'Jago Grahak Jago App' and 'Jagriti App' will help consumers identify and report instances of dark patterns, such as misleading advertisements. The 'Jagriti Dashboard' will generate real-time reports for the Central Consumer Protection Authority to monitor and regulate these practices. This initiative aims to create a transparent and fair digital marketplace.
