Europe’s biggest online fashion retailer Zalando has lost a court fight against EU online content rules, boosting tech regulators’ efforts to force online platforms to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content.

Zalando sued the European Commission after it was designated as a very large online platform (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act (DSA), putting it in the same category as Alphabet’s Google and Meta Platforms and making it subject to onerous requirements.
