Technique Telemetry Feed
A data subscription delivering real-time dark-pattern detection telemetry, technique emergence alerts, and prevalence analytics from the directorate's instrumentation network.
How It Works
The application runs on the user's device, applying directorate-developed models to detect and interrupt manipulative patterns in real time. All processing occurs locally — no personal data leaves the device. Anonymised aggregate telemetry (opt-in only) feeds back into the directorate's technique detection pipeline, improving the models for every user.
Who It's For
Individual users who want to reclaim control over their attention and digital habits. No technical expertise is required — the tools are designed for mainstream adoption.
Key Features
- Step-by-step guided cancellation workflows
- Structured data feeds with documented schemas
- Interactive dashboards with configurable alert thresholds
- Privacy-first architecture — no personally identifiable data collected
Ethics & Provenance
Real-time dark-pattern detection data drawn from the UNDERTOW instrumentation mesh. The feed reports newly observed techniques, mutation rates, deployment vectors, and platform-level prevalence scores — aggregated and sanitized but operationally current.
Where the Money Goes
Subscriptions sustain the UNDERTOW mesh and the GOVERNOR analytics platform.
