'Digital Arms for Digital Consumer Harms’ book by Constanta Rosca
On 19 December 2024, Dr Constanta Rosca’s monograph, ‘Digital Arms for Digital Consumer Harms: Mapping Legal and Technical Solutions for Dark Patterns in EU Consumer Law’, was published as an open access book by the institutional, library-led publisher of Maastricht University, Maastricht University Press.
Combining insights from regulation theory, law and computer science, this book explores policy and digital enforcement solutions that could strengthen EU consumer protection against dark patterns – a policy priority in recent years and the near future. The book illustrates why more technology-specific regulation of dark patterns may be the best way forward for the Digital Fairness Act.
