The European Commission has determined that AliExpress is not meeting its obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA) regarding the assessment and mitigation of risks related to illegal products. An investigation unveiled that AliExpress underestimates risk due to limited moderation resources, inadequately enforces penalties on traders posting illegal content, and has systemic failures in pro-active content moderation. In response, AliExpress plans to improve detection systems for illegal products and enhance transparency in its advertising methods, with the EC set to monitor compliance to avoid potential fines.
AliExpress fails to adequately enforce its penalty policy regarding traders repeatedly posting illegal content, risking further illegal product dissemination under the Digital Services Act.
While findings are preliminary, AliExpress has committed to enhancing its processes for detecting illegal products and increasing transparency in its advertising systems.
