The European Union has opened an investigation into e-commerce platform Temu looking at whether the company is doing enough to combat sales of illegal products on its site.
The European Commission said it suspects the company is violating its new Digital Services Act, a law aimed at stamping out illegal content and disinformation online, confirming an earlier Bloomberg report. If found in breach, Temu may be on the hook for a fine of as much as 6% of its annual revenue.
