Popular Chinese e-commerce platform Temu could face stringent European Union content-moderation rules after it said it is visited by 75 million Europeans every month.
The controversial but booming Chinese company is the Western offshoot of Pinduoduo, one of China’s biggest e-commerce platforms. It has faced scrutiny for its opaque privacy and cybersecurity practices and has recently been under fire in Germany for misleading consumers.
While Temu was already falling under under some Digital Services Act rules, its new self-declared size could lead to new more stringent obligations under the supervision of the European Commission.
