Today, we have imposed a €200 million fine on Temu under the Digital Services Act, for failing to identify, analyse, and assess the systemic risks of illegal products being offered on its platform.
The evidence at our disposal indicates that consumers in the EU are very likely to encounter illegal items on Temu.
@EUCommission
This is great! Why did you add a link that passes through LinkedIn and does not directly forward to the EC webpage?
@EUCommission I'm so glad something is being done about temu
@EUCommission heck yeah

@EUCommission
When are you going to take on Meta, Microsoft, and X?

@EUCommission This is skewed justice, considering the EU doesn't sponsor education in #BehavioralScience, where there is the greatest need for equitable upgrades.
You can't place 100% of the onus in holding and distributing power, on the wealthiest 1%, and leave 99% destitute of vital infrastructure - of which ignorance, is the greatest enemy.
Yes, throughout history, historians have been correct: ignorance truly is the ultimate enemy. So propagating the best education, Behavioral Science, is one of the root causes of an EU - or any other leadership role.
Now get to work.
@EUCommission What are the chances of
(a) any of that fine ever being paid
(b) the perp changing its behaviour in consequence
?
Hello @TimWardCam!
Temu has until 28 August 2026 to submit an action plan to remedy the breach of its risk-assessment obligations. Failure to comply with the non-compliance decision may lead to periodic penalty payments. You can find more information here: https://link.europa.eu/pCcFjv

The evidence shows that on top of Privacy intrusion and other offenses Google is encouraging youth suicide
Fines were cancelled AUTOCRATICALLY
By Von der Leyen
WHY
Google is us big spy tech, and for fears trump might have a tantrum.
TEMU Chinese.
@EUCommission that's like a quarter of their yearly revenue? that's a pretty okay fine compared to the usual slap on the wrist for conpanies like google and microsoft 
@EUCommission Good. Leave it to the EU to do what we should've done. I've never trusted Temu and look but order ... no way.
@EUCommission Don't miss Truman's wife advertising cocoa on Truman Show. *jk* Seriously, there are commercial interests going on in the middle of humanitarian crises, taking place before everyone.
@EUCommission Dovete bandirlo, non muttarlo!
@EUCommission Well done! 👏 Keep the fines coming for US big tech monopolies as well!
@EUCommission Now do Amazon, you cowards.
@EUCommission When is Ursula gonna cancel that one? Or will she not, because it's from China and not from the orange fascist?
Btw, the fine is less than 1% of their EU market value... it's the cost of doing business for companies who regularly break the law.
The fine is most probably useless, even if it's not canceled by Ursula.
@EUCommission Yet you ignore crimes against humanity and protect Israel and America.
@EUCommission Always morally correct to impose fines on Temu
thats 1% of their 12 BILLION EU trade volume.
nothing for a company that’s actively working on destroying EU markets
you should ensure each single package from China must go through full custom inspections AND the receiver has to pay the effort, that would be much more efficient
