Online retail giant files legal action against proposed legislation designed to rein in Big Tech via IrishTimesBiz

The DSA seeks to target intermediaries such as Zalando so that regulators can better police the safety and authenticity of products sold online.

The US company said that most of its revenue comes from its retail business. Its addition to the European Commission’s list of targeted companies would mean it would be “unfairly singled out and forced to meet onerous administrative obligations that do not benefit EU consumers”, it said. The act comes into force on August 25th and is part of a shake-up of the bloc’s digital rules. It sets new standards for policing hate speech, disinformation and counterfeits online that all large digital platforms must comply with.“The scope of the DSA is very clear and is defined to cover all platforms that expose their users to content, including the sale of products or services, which can be illegal,” the statement said.
