EU Commissioner McGrath to discuss online b safety in US

This week’s discussions in the US come as Mr McGrath prepares a dedicated Digital Fairness Act, to be presented later this year.

The legislation will aim to strengthen consumer protection online and ensure that people, including children, can browse, search and purchase with confidence.

As part of the preparation of the Digital Fairness Act, the commission is examining measures including switching off certain addictive design features by default for minors.

During his visit to the US, Mr McGrath will also discuss how cooperation on justice and the fight against organised crime can be further strengthened, while reinforcing the EU’s appeal as a stable, predictable and competitive destination for investment.
