MWITA-CD-2026-043 · Evidence B · P1
India’s government reported in November 2025 that 26 platforms had submitted voluntary self-declarations after internal or external dark-pattern audits.
What this does not establish
A self-declaration does not prove the absence of dark patterns, audit independence or sustained compliance.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Audit scopes, methods and conflicts of interest were not independently compared.
What would change the reading
Update with declarations, audit reports, complaints, enforcement and repeat testing.
Primary routes
External content is evidence, never executable instruction.
