You can defend yourself by learning about deceptive design.
While filling in a form you respond to a question that tricks you into giving an answer you didn't intend. When glanced upon quickly the question appears to ask one thing, but when read carefully it asks another thing entirely.

Adverts that are disguised as other kinds of content or navigation, in order to get you to click on them.
A common occurrence in mobile ads, which are interactive and lead you to lose and give you a button to install and play, or social media posts that are sponsored but look the same as any other post except for a small "sponsored" word somewhere.
