Zalando, a German fashion website, is challenging its classification under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) as a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP). The company argues that its user numbers differ from those of other platforms like Facebook and TikTok, due to its hybrid business model. A court hearing in Luxembourg could impact how the European Commission calculates user numbers for VLOPs. Zalando claims its retail business, which constitutes 61% of its operations, does not fall under the DSA's scope. The outcome of this case may influence other platforms with similar business models.
