Amazon tells court it shouldn't have to police its platforms for hate speech and disinformation (www.businessinsider.com)

Amazon filed a petition with an EU court asking it to annul its designation as a "very large online platform" in the Digital Services Act.

Amazon argues other large retailers weren't given the same designation, but is that because Amazon is largest or because the other retailers are already doing a good enough job (in which case no harm in the EU agreeing to include more retailers in the list) or because EU arbitrarily wants Amazon in the list without proof it would make a difference (in which case maybe take another look at the criteria used to make the list).

Imo, it's fair to ask why Alex Jones' webstore shouldn't also have to police disinformation they put out
