Chinese giant Shein bans sex-dolls amid French probe into child-like' listings
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Chinese online retailer Shein has permanently banned the sale of all sex dolls on its global platform after French authorities accused it of selling items that appeared to depict minors, sparking widespread outrage and a potential ban from the French market. The move comes just days before the fast-fashion giant was set to open its first-ever permanent physical store in Paris, amid mounting scrutiny over its business practices, product oversight, and ethical standards."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting, documentaries like 'The A Word', and investigative journalism while keeping reporting free from paywalls. Donations support coverage across reproductive rights, climate change, Big Tech, and political financing by enabling reporters to interview multiple perspectives and investigate financial records. Chinese online retailer Shein permanently banned sex doll sales globally after French regulators accused the platform of selling items that appeared to depict minors; France's DGCCRF referred the case to prosecutors, saying descriptions and categorisation indicated child-pornographic content and noting that French law can punish such online offences with up to seven years' imprisonment and a 100,000 euro fine.
