Providers of social media platforms and online marketplaces continue to use manipulative designs in their apps, even though the Digital Services Act (DSA) prohibits this. This is shown by a study by the German consumer association VZBV, which is available to Table.Briefings. At the end of last year, the VZBV examined the offerings of 18 Android apps – from Amazon, eBay, Shein and Temu to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Kaufland, Mediamarkt, Otto and Zalando.
