From online subscriptions that are difficult to cancel to social media features designed to keep users scrolling, the EU says it wants to make the digital economy fairer for consumers. The European Commission unveiled its proposed Digital Fairness Act (DFA) on Wednesday, setting out new rules to tackle manipulative online practices, improve price transparency and strengthen protections for children. “We are tackling the new unfair commercial practices that distort consumers’ choices and put pressure on them, undermining their ability to make informed choices,” said executive vice-president and EU tech commissioner Henna Virkkunen. Among the measures presented in Brussels on Wednesday…
Santorini is considered the most popular Greek island worldwide. Its distinctive volcanic caldera, whitewashed houses and sunsets in Oia consistently place it among the top choices for international travellers. However, over the past two years local hoteliers have been complaining that their hotels are not filling up with tourists. “After the Covid pandemic we had intense tourist activity on our island, but because of some unrelated events, one was the seismic activity on the neighbouring islands and later on the war in the Gulf, we experienced a drop in tourism,” hotel owner Thomas Giannis tells Euronews. “For me personally it…
In a highly unlikely scenario in which Lagarde runs next to Philippe and multiple recently declared candidates, including Olympic judo champion Teddy Riner and columnist Natasha Polony, she would also rival President Emmanuel Macron’s former prime minister with 8% support. In both cases, far-right candidate Marine Le Pen and leftist hopeful Jean-Luc Mélenchon are projected to finish first and second, respectively, which would qualify them for next May’s runoff round. Cluster17’s survey, the first public poll to test a Lagarde candidacy, shows the centrist vote is “very fluid,” according to the institute’s president, Jean-Yves Dormagen. “At this stage there is…
Published on 11 November 2026 – 17:27 GMT+1 A decade-long legal battle led by LGBT+ Trinidadian activists successfully ended as Trinidad and Tobago’s highest court overturned a long-running law criminalising gay sex. The UK-based final court of appeal for British dependencies and overseas territories issued a unanimous decision Tuesday that the 1986 Sexual Offences Act could not be used to prosecute private, consensual sexual relations between adults of the same sex. Seen as a landmark ruling for LGBT+ rights in the Caribbean, this law had previously carried sentences of two years for “serious indecency” and five years for “buggery”. “What…
Published on 11 November 2026 – 16:27 GMT+1 Tesla has received temporary approval to use its Assisted Driving system (TAD) on Finnish roads after making changes to the technology. Finland’s Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) announced the decision on Wednesday, saying Tesla “can immediately start offering the system to its customers in Finland.” The technology allows cars to steer, accelerate and brake automatically, although drivers must remain in control and supervise its operation. The system was renamed Tesla Assisted Driving from Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised to better describe what it does. According to Traficom’s Senior Specialist Jukka Juhola, the new…
Published on 11 November 2026 – 12:36 GMT+1 Legendary musician Nick Cave has shared his thoughts on the use of AI, saying he’s not sure if the controversial technology will “save the world” or “annihilate it”. In the latest entry to his The Red Hand Files newsletter, Cave responded to a question from a fan regarding whether he is a “doomer or boomer” towards AI. “Artificial Intelligence,” he replied, “may save the world, annihilate it, or do something in between. I don’t know.” Cave continued, regarding AI’s increasing role in new music: “Song generator platforms are, in my view, indicators…
The Commission says these practices encourage overspending, which is especially dangerous for vulnerable consumers like kids. Violating the rules can lead to fines of up to 6% of global revenue in cases that affect more than two-thirds of the EU population. “We want the European gaming industry to continue to thrive,” said Michael McGrath, the commissioner for consumer protection, announcing the measures. But competition, McGrath added, should be based “on creativity, innovation, and quality, and not on practices that exploit consumers.” In a joint statement, the European Game Developer Federation, an association representing EU firms, and Video Games Europe, which…
