On 27 June 2023, Zalando, a German based apparel and accessories marketplace, filed an action with the General Court of the European Union to challenge its designation by the Commission as a “very large online platform” (VLOP) under the so-called “Digital Services Act” (DSA).

The DSA applies to all digital services that connect consumers to goods, services or content, and introduces a comprehensive new set of tight rules for online intermediaries on how to design their services and procedures as well as new responsibilities to limit the spreading of online illegal content and products, enhancing the protection of minors and giving users more choice and higher quality information.
