EU brings product liability rules in line with digital age and circular economy
Today [2024-10-10] the Council adopted a directive to update the EU’s civil liability law. The new liability rules better take into account that nowadays many products have digital features and that the economy is becoming increasingly circular.
As long as they dont use it to pass liabilities to foss developers.
Nobody bears responsibility outside commercial activity because why would they? They’re not selling anything and this is about being liable for stuff you sell, like literally everything else.
