Cigna earnings beat by $0.04, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com -- Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) challenged its designation as a platform subject to stricter requirements under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) in Europe’s second-highest court on Thursday.
The U.S. online retail giant asked the Luxembourg-based General Court to remove its classification as a very large online platform (VLOP), arguing that it does not pose systematic risks to its users.
The DSA, which took effect in 2022, requires major technology companies to take more action against illegal and harmful content on their platforms. Companies designated as VLOPs must implement additional measures to tackle illegal online content, manage risks, conduct independent audits, and share data with authorities and researchers.
Amazon’s lawyer Robert Spano told the court, "Online marketplaces like the Amazon Store do not pose systemic risks. Second, the VLOP rules do not and cannot rationally assist in preventing the dissemination of illegal or counterfeit goods."
