Clicking on "Welcome Offer 50 €/year Limited only until Friday, 28th April" takes you to a payment page asking for 60 €/year, which is illegal in most of the world.
- wink 3y agoHow would it be illegal to have an outdated price with a big date of validity attached? Or are you pointing out there should be a year? Not trying to defend anything here, but that simply sounds unlikely and my example would be supermarket flyers with certain offers that are very often still around here, I don't think just because it's digital it must be destroyed the moment the offer ceases to exist in ANY jurisdiction.
- randunel 3y agoThe fact that the offer is still prominently displayed falls under "bait advertising". The fact that the offer's time limit is written in smaller text falls under "dark design patterns". All EU member states have adopted or must adopt laws which ban unfair commercial practises https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/unfair-treatment/unfair-commercial-practices/index_en.htm https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/unfair-treat... I'd expect there to be similar laws in the UK and in some US states (California, at the very least).
