The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has fined Rapido ₹10 lakh for misleading advertisements, unfair trade practices and dark patterns. The CCPA flagged prompts that encouraged riders to increase fares by suggesting higher payments could improve their chances of getting a ride. It also found Rapido’s “Set your price” slider used colours and uneven controls that could steer users towards paying more. Rapido argued that tipping was voluntary, but the regulator said the timing and presentation of the prompts could pressure riders into paying extra. #rapido #darkpattern #cabride #autoride #bikeride Important Playlists National News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YXb9Oh62yur4MRCdRLL6gCt Business News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YVXM88oXiuA1JMLZtODGP1y World News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YW0Swy6-R3i50F5FbtDRiEe BS Decoded: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YWYuC7DEL8Lxl-rhiElowEE Want access t
