Dark patterns in general, yes, but I'd think "The displayed price must include all fees" would be easy to write into law.

- ARandomerDude 5y agoI think people would find ways to partially skirt the law using formulas. There are some legitimate uses for formula pricing, e.g., rent a U-Haul with a per-mile cost, or a cell phone bill with a per GB data cost, or a per-user SAAS model. I imagine a dark pattern for the "resort fee" might be a complicated formula described in words in size 6 font at the bottom of the page if you took the time to read the footnote.
