The Department of Consumer Affairs will launch the Jago Grahak Jago app, Jagriti app, and Jagriti Dashboard on Dec. 24.
These apps aim to combat dark patterns of e-commerce companies that deceive consumers into making choices they might not otherwise make.
The Jago Grahak Jago app will alert users about potentially unsafe URLs, while the Jagriti App will allow consumers to report suspected dark patterns.
The Jagriti Dashboard will enable the Central Consumer Protection Authority to generate real-time reports on e-commerce sites to resolve consumer complaints faster.
