Amazon lost, this Wednesday (27), an attempt to suspend a requirement related to its online advertising under European Union (EU) technology rules. Europe's top court sided with the bloc's regulators, saying the EU's interests outweigh the US online retailer's material interests.
“The light suspensionaria to a delay, potentially by several years, in the full achievement of the objectives of the Regulation on a Single Market for Digital Services and would therefore potentially allow an online environment that threatens fundamental rights to persist or develop”, said the judge.
“The interests defended by the EU legislature prevail, in the present case, over the material interests of Amazon, resulting in the balance of interests weighing in favor of rejecting the suspension request.”
Amazon stated: “We are disappointed with this decision and maintain that Amazon does not fit the description of a 'Very Large Online Platform' (VLOP) under the DSA and should not be designated as such.”
