  "account": "The adult content platform Stripchat, owned by Cyprus-based Technius, has lost its legal battle against the European Union's tech regulators, who included it in a list of companies subject to stringent requirements under the Digital Services Act (DSA).\n\nLast year, the European Commission categorized Stripchat, along with two other adult content companies, as very large online platforms under the DSA. This designation requires such companies to take more stringent measures to combat illegal and harmful content on their platforms, facing potential fines of up to 6% of their global turnover if they breach the act.\n\nStripchat challenged the Commission's decision by filing a lawsuit at the General Court in Luxembourg. The dispute centered around how the Commission calculated its user base, a key metric for determining whether a company falls under the DSA's purview.\n\nThe court statement affirmed that the European Commission provided Stripchat with sufficient justification for its decision. If dissatisfied with this ruling, legal action can be pursued at the EU Court of Justice, the European Union's highest court.",
