Stripchat Loses Legal Fight Against EU Tech Label

3-line summary

• The EU General Court in Luxembourg on October 14 rejected Stripchat's challenge to the European Commission's three-year-old designation of the adult-content platform as a 'Very Large Online Platform' under the Digital Services Act (DSA), according to Investing.com. Two other adult-content firms received the same designation.
• Stripchat had disputed the Commission's method of counting users, the metric used to determine whether a platform meets the DSA threshold; the court found the Commission gave sufficient reasoning for its decision. The ruling (case T-134/24) can be appealed on points of law to the EU Court of Justice.
• The DSA requires designated platforms to step up action against illegal and harmful content, with violations carrying fines of up to 6% of global revenue; the article does not detail Stripchat's specific compliance obligations.
