EU Commission Demands Information from Temu and Shein Regarding DSA Compliance

The EU Commission is requesting information from online marketplaces Temu and Shein on their adherence to the Digital Services Act (DSA) regulations. Topics of interest include measures taken to combat illegal products, user protections, and compliance with recommendation system guidelines.

Both companies face potential fines for non-compliance if they fail to provide satisfactory responses by the July 12 deadline. The Commission's scrutiny stems from consumer complaints alleging issues like manipulative design tactics and inadequate product traceability, highlighting the importance of DSA enforcement in safeguarding consumers' interests.
