Amazon loses legal challenge to EU's strictest digital rules

Amazon loses its challenge and must comply with the DSA's strictest measures as a Very Large Online Platform.
The court said platforms with more than 45 million users may expose many to illegal content, justifying uniform obligations.
The General Court noted that the need for timely implementation supports DSA obligations despite higher costs.
Amazon intends to appeal to the EU Court of Justice after the ruling.
The ruling follows a prior decision that Zalando must follow the strictest EU platform rules as a VLOP.
Amazon argued that disclosure of its advertising methods would reveal trade secrets.
VLOP designation triggers more frequent reporting obligations and supervisory fees.
The EU views online platforms as potentially presenting systemic risks to society.
The court emphasized uniform treatment for all very large online platforms under the DSA.
The decision reiterates the importance of timely DSA implementation across platforms.
