"It can detect everywhere you go, to a doctor's office, to a public library, to a political event, to your friends' houses,"
"So the scope of this invasion of privacy is enormous, and that's why I consider it possibly the gravest violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act that we have ever seen in Arizona."
"We help consumers and families access quality products at affordable prices,"
"We work to keep costs down and maintain reliable supply so people can meet their needs without stretching their budgets."
Arizona filed a lawsuit against Temu and parent PDD Holdings Inc., alleging the Chinese online retailer steals customers' data and deceives consumers about low-cost product quality. The complaint alleges the app collects sensitive information without user consent, including GPS locations and lists of other apps on phones. Prosecutors say Chinese laws could compel the company to hand over data and that the app's code is designed to evade security reviews. The state also accuses Temu of copying intellectual property from brands such as the Arizona Cardinals and Arizona State University. Temu denies the allegations and says it provides affordable goods to families. Similar suits exist in Kentucky, Nebraska, and Arkansas, and the state urged greater federal intervention to protect consumers and businesses.
