psych_enforcement
Regulatory enforcement actions over deceptive interface design, each citing the regulator’s own document: the law and article, the company, the penalty, and what was actually on the screen. Includes dismissals, vacated rules and findings of lawfulness, which mark where the line sits and which fine-only lists omit. Also reports patterns prohibited but never enforced, and cases excluded for want of a primary source. Use to tell whether a design choice has cost anyone money, and where. Free — this call costs nothing. No account or payment required.
