The Digital Fairness Act is Open for Feedback

The EU Commission opened the public consultation for the Digital Fairness Act.

You can consult the “Have your say” webpage for the consultation. The feedback period is 17 July 2025 to 24 October 2025.

Will the Digital Fairness Act be a directive or a regulation?

Although “act” suggests that we should expect a regulation, some speculate that the DFA will in fact be a collection of smaller legal instruments such as one or multiple directives. When the webpage for the consultation had initially been published, under “type of act”, the commission stated this was a “Proposal for a Directive”. Shortly after, the Commission deleted this and stated that this was a technical error and “all options are on the table”.
