Pressure on EU to investigate Shein over sex dolls and banned weapons
"France has moved to ban Shein over the illicit products, and Shein suspended its marketplace in the country to review its third-party sellers, having already halted the sale of sex dolls worldwide."
""France alerts the European Commission and all member states to these serious breaches within its borders, and expects there are similar risks associated with this platform's activities in other European Union countries," France's finance minister Roland Lescure and digital minister Anne le Henanff wrote in a letter to EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen."
"France called on the European Commission to conduct investigations "without delay" to find out what led to the sale of illegal objects on the platform, according to the letter, which was sent late on Wednesday and shared with journalists Thursday. A European Commission spokesperson confirmed the letter was received, and said the body will assess and decide on next steps."
