EU Proposes Digital Fairness Act Fines

The EU Commission proposed the Digital Fairness Act on Wednesday, aiming to ban dark patterns and loot boxes for under-18s. Fines reach up to 6% of global turnover, with estimated €88.4B in reduced consumer detriment over a decade. The law replaces the 2005 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and grants the Commission direct enforcement powers for large-scale cases.
