There is no discussion about the great impact behavioral law and economics has had on legal theory and policymaking the past two decades. In fact, in recent years the behavioral movement has become one of the most influential developments, at least, in legal and economic scholarships in general.

Although nowadays cognitive biases are far away from being a scientific novelty, we still need to know much more about how the platforms use and abuse from many of them.

I will also analyze the impact in the process of judgement and decision-making.

Real examples in e-commerce via the platforms will be shown.

Briefly, how the platforms exploit the human cognitive biases is a curios field to learn from and to discuss for possible solutions. I will share possible solutions and the appropriate way of using them for the society’s good.
