EU broadcasters warn Digital Fairness Act could hit media freedom, not Big Tech

They say the law might curb their voice instead

European media outlets are urging EU regulators to reshape the proposed Digital Fairness Act, arguing it must target Big Tech’s dominance rather than broadcasters. They warn the bill could burden their operations and reduce the diversity of voices across Europe’s media ecosystem, asking lawmakers to ensure competition and fairness protections don’t backfire on independent journalism.
