05:13 AM EST, 11/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon's ( AMZN ) attempt to get a court to reject its designation by European regulators as a "very large online platform" was rejected Wednesday by a top European court.
The European Commission designated Amazon ( AMZN ) an exceptionally large platform of more than 45 million users with special antitrust restrictions and obligations under the European Union's Digital Services Act, a categorization Amazon ( AMZN ) sought to annul, the Court of Justice of the European Union said in a statement.
The court said that while the designation limited Amazon's ( AMZN ) freedoms, the interference was lawful and justified in accord with the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights.
