Targets: 4.7-Media Information Literacy is an important aspect of this target. Media information literacy (MIL) empowers citizens to critically evaluate information, identify disinformation and misinformation, and understand the role of media in society. MIL also helps people recognize and navigate dark patterns in online interfaces. 9.1-In addition to the physical communication environment, it is necessary to create a system that encourages information circulating on the Internet to be as reliable as possible. SDG 12 seeks to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Dark patterns directly contradict this goal by leading consumers into potentially wasteful or harmful consumption habits. Similarly, disinformation can distort our understanding of sustainable products and practices. Addressing these issues is essential to enable consumers to make informed and responsible choices that contribute to environmental sustainability and resource efficiency. 16.10 emphasizes ensuring public access to information and protecting fundamental freedoms. Dark patterns, disinformation, and misinformation undermine trust in the Internet, distort democratic processes, and even incite violence, directly contradicting the goals of SDG 16 . Addressing these issues and promoting access to reliable information is essential to building peaceful, just, and inclusive societies and strengthening effective, accountable, and transparent institutions. SDG 16 is central to addressing the challenges posed by dark patterns, disinformation and misinformation. Ensuring public access to accurate information and protecting fundamental freedoms is essential to foster a just, peaceful and inclusive society. Countering the proliferation of misinformation is essential to maintaining trust in institutions and upholding democratic values.

Description
In recent years, a large amount of disinformation and misinformation has appeared on the Internet.
Even though fact-checking efforts are growing more widespread every year, it is very hard to confirm the accuracy of all information, which makes it difficult to know what to believe. In the long term, this can also lead one astray, and democracy itself may be in danger.
In addition to filtering bubbles and echo chambers, dark patterns are increasingly frequently used in website and application of their User interfaces (UIs) to purposefully mislead or cause users to take harmful behaviors.
Preconceptions (assumptions and prejudices) lead people to make erroneous decisions, a psychological phenomena known as cognitive bias.
If these become widespread without any countermeasures, four types of losses are likely to occur: economic loss, intellectual loss, social loss, and psychological loss.
If we do not guarantee a certain level of reliability in the information, we will not be able to prevent these four losses and, more generally, we will not be able to maintain a democracy that depends on making decisions based on information from the street, just as laws on weights and measures have been established in many countries around the world to ensure equity in dealings, safety, and international mutual understanding. We fear that democracy will become unsustainable since it forces individuals to rely on their decisions on information they find on the street.
Of course, it is impossible to obtain absolutely accurate information.
We are aware, nevertheless, that providing such "standards," etc., is quite challenging. In this session, we would want to present the Web credibility assessment challenge that we are attempting to begin in Japan and offer a forum for information sharing and solidarity with others around the world who are worried about related issues.
