The Digital Fairness Act (DFA) is a legislative proposal by the European Commission.[1][2] Michael McGrath, EU Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, will be responsible for this legislation under Ursula von der Leyen's second Commission.[3] The legislation will tackle dark patterns, personalisation, contracts, and influencer marketing.[4][5][6] The Commission has stated that there will be a 12-week long public consultation starting in spring 2025,[7] and the Digital Fairness Act will not be proposed before 2026.[8][9]
