Summary

To ensure this safety net remains robust against the challenges of the modern digital landscape, the Commission proposed a comprehensive Digital Fairness Act designed to safeguard consumers from predatory online tactics. This legislation aims to fortify consumer rights by addressing critical issues such as dark patterns, addictive design, and deceptive influencer marketing. It will specifically require the removal of harmful personalization algorithms that exploit user vulnerabilities, particularly within platforms like social media apps, video games, and e-commerce sites. The proposal also outlines concrete procedural measures, including the mandatory removal of unfair choices presented as pop-ups, the suspension of difficult procedures during service termination, and the prohibition of excessively long service requests, thereby creating a more transparent and equitable environment for all online users.
