Subscription traps, also known as dark pattern subscriptions, are deceptive business practices where companies lure customers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), into signing up for subscription services under misleading terms. These traps often make it difficult or costly to cancel subscriptions, leading to ongoing charges that harm businesses financially and restrict their operational freedom. For Japanese SMEs, the detrimental effects of subscription traps extend way beyond financial loss; they can cause vendor lock-in, undermine data privacy, and erode digital sovereignty, which should be concerns for these enterprises.
