The European Commission is set to launch an investigation into Chinese online retail platform Temu over whether it is in breach of rules meant to prevent the sale of illegal products online.

The move follows the Commission’s request on 11 October for information from Temu under the Digital Services Act, asking what steps it is taking to stop illegal products being sold on its platform.

Under the European Union’s Digital Services Act, companies with more than 45 million users are designated “very large online platforms” (VLOPs) and are required to do more to fight illegal content as well as counterfeit products on their platforms.

    A friend of mine bought a taser that shoots those little barbs for $15. Absolutely insane.

        I dunno they’re illegal in Canada anyways so I’ve never thought to price match a taser.
