EU fines Temu €200m under Digital Services Act

EU tech law EU Commission fines Temu €200 million for breach of the Digital Services Act - due to inadequate risk assessment re the sale of illegal products ec.europa.eu/commission/p... This is the second DSA fine, following the fine for X - obviously proves DSA doesn't only apply to US companies

Der chinesische Online-Händler Temu schlampt im Umgang mit gefährlichen und illegalen Produkten, hat heute die EU-Kommission festgestellt. Nach X handelt es sich um den zweiten Online-Dienst, der gegen den Digital Services Act verstoßen hat. netzpolitik.org/2026/unsiche...

Today the EU imposed a €200M fee on Temu. 👏🏽👏🏽 But Temu didn’t create Europe’s dependency on Chinese products. Many European companies already make huge profits reselling the exact same Chinese goods at much higher prices. Temu is simply exposing the system and cutting the margins.

EU fines Temu €200m for allowing sale of illegal products, plus they fined Elon Musk’s ‘X’ last December. - Only the EU has the economic power to control the big tech firms. But they need to do more, particularly regarding taxation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The European Commission has fined Temu €200m under the EU's Digital Services Act for failing to identify, analyse and assess the systemic risks of dodgy and illegal products offered on the platform.

Now it’s time for Temu to take its obligations under the DSA seriously and conduct thorough, evidence-based risk assessments to protect users and the public from harm.
 The Commission continues to engage with Temu to ensure compliance with the decision and with the DSA more generally.

The EU is here to protect its citizens. This time, consumers from unsafe products from Temu. More fines should follow to show zero tolerance to companies who do not respect the DSA. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/20...

The European Commission has fined Temu €200 million under the new Digital Services Act (DSA) for... removing all the dumb words... all the fraud and scams on its platform ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116651733534611734 It's great that the European Commission take another #DSA non-compliance decision. There is so much infringement of the law out there, this is very necessary. But a 200m EUR fine is laughable. That's worth less than a few […]

EU fines Temu for failing to stop sale of illegal and dangerous products. European Commission finds shoppers on Chinese website very likely to find unsafe items and imposes €200m penalty. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

This is a smart enforcement choice as a test run for defining platform practices that fail DSA Art 34’s risk assessment requirement. It’s about dangerous goods on Temu, including things like dangerous baby toys. Even to me, it doesn’t feel like a speech issue. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

The EU is fining Temu €200m for selling illegal products I guess this is in relation to products containing hazardous and toxic materials

POLITICO Europe: EU fines China’s Temu €200M over illegal products – ‘the largest so far imposed under the bloc's new platforms regulation, the Digital Services Act’

Temu got fined €200mln today by the EC but Musk is the story. Last year he was fined a paltry €120mln for 3 violations of the DSA amid suspected ongoing threats to democracy. Meanwhile Temu was fined more for what appears a one-off about dodgy toys. EU is fighting shy of real threats from Big Tech.

De Chinese webshop Temu heeft onvoldoende weet van de illegale producten die verkocht worden op het platform. Daarom krijgt de webwinkel een boete van 200 miljoen euro van de Europese Commissie. Het gaat om een boete onder de Digital Services Act, ofwel DSA. #Tweakers
