Temu fined €200M under the Digital Services Act over illegal products

Not yet final

The European Commission found that Temu failed to diligently identify, analyse and assess the systemic risk of illegal products being sold to EU consumers on its marketplace. Its 2024 risk assessment relied on general information about e-commerce rather than evidence specific to Temu, understated how often consumers would meet illegal items, and did not assess how recommender systems and influencer programmes could spread them.
