Prefer DW over Google The Digital Fairness Act has been proposed by the European Commission, which aims to better protect online users.
Under the European Commission's proposed Digital Fairness Act (DFA), a company will have to remind the user before the end of the free trial period and obtain their explicit consent before starting a payment. The proposed law would also make it easier to cancel online subscriptions and would require consumers to be reminded before certain contracts automatically renew.
The European Commission has said it aims to give consumers more control over how they spend their time and money online.
"In the last 20 years we have not seen this kind of reform in the field of consumer protection," Augustin Raina, director general of the European Union for Consumers (BEUC), told DW.
According to Raina, the proposed law is a good starting point to tackle the issues that bother everyday consumers.
