The EU wants to restrict Duolingo, Strava and other popular apps using "harmful digital practices" (ie addictive).
The European Commission has introduced a draft digital fairness law that aims to protect users from app features with "harmful digital practices". In particular, we're talking about features that encourage users to spend more time in apps.
According to Wired, the law may include, in particular, the foreign learning platform Duolingo, the sports service Strava and other popular applications.
According to the authors of the project, their users should be able to skip a series of classes or trainings that cannot be missed now, so as not to lose the progress achieved.
The European Commission will also give users the right to easily turn off engagement mechanisms such as "aggressive alerts" and "emotional pressure".
