EP177: Dark Patterns and Tourism (w/ Fred Roeder)

This week's theme is Dark! Whether that be "dark patterns," as
the FTC describes Amazon's Prime subscription, dark Canadian
legislation, or dark tourism in the hills of Turkmenistan.


We look at the FTC's lawsuit against Amazon Prime for being too
affordable and convenient, Canada's C-18 news bill laden with
cronyism, and check in with our travel correspondent, Fred
Roeder, managing director of the Consumer Choice Center, on his
trip to the Central Asian diamond nation of Turkmenistan.
