EU Digital Services Act Bans Dark Patterns, Raising the Bar for Unsubscribe UX

The European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) bans dark patterns, requiring platforms to design interfaces that don't deceive or manipulate users into making uninformed choices. This means unsubscribe UX should be clear and free from pressure or confusion. Platform operators should review their cancellation experiences for friction and misleading presentation. The key issue is user autonomy, not interface polish or complexity. Review and explain each step in the unsubscribe flow to ensure users can make informed decisions.
