Digital Fairness Act: EU Commission wants to make online subscription cancellations easier
The European Commission wants to reform consumer protection on the Internet. The Digital Fairness Act, which has now been presented, is intended to strengthen consumer rights.
The EU Commission wants to make it easier for consumers to cancel online subscriptions. The proposed Digital Fairness Act aims to strengthen consumer rights in areas such as ticket sales, online shopping, and video games. The Commission estimates that these measures could save EU consumers up to €13.7 billion annually. The proposal also targets "dark patterns" used by companies to manipulate consumer behavior and aims to ensure that companies provide clear information and do not use deceptive practices.
Additionally, the Commission wants to give consumers the right to opt out of features such as endless scrolling and automatic video playback on social media.
