What is the EU Digital Fairness Act?
The Digital Fairness Act is an upcoming EU legislative proposal which will regulate Dark Patterns, Influencer Marketing, Addictive Design, and digital contracts.
It has not been tabled yet but is expected to be presented by Michael McGrath, Commissioner for Democracy, Justice and Rule of Law.
The EU Commission acknowledged the need for a Digital Fairness Act in their Digital Fairness Fitness Check Report. The European Parliament called for the need for additional consumer protections regarding addictive design on digital platforms in their Resolution on Addictive Design.
