The EU plans to introduce a "digital justice law": users have the right to disable features that could cause "internet addiction".
The European Commission has proposed tighter regulation of digital platforms, including practices that encourage users to spend more time and money online. Companies that violated the new rules could receive fines.
Main provisions of the initiative:
Prohibition of manipulative schemes.
Transparent pricing.
Protection against overspending.
Influencer advertising control.
Limitation of advertising and customized prices.
Which makes it easier to cancel subscriptions.
The Commission estimates that the initiatives will save EU consumers up to 13.7 billion euros per year. The proposals will now have to be considered by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union Bloomberg.
