The European Commission has launched an investigation into AliExpress. We are talking about a possible violation of ten articles of the law on digital services.
The European Commission has launched an investigation into the e-commerce platform AliExpress, which is owned by Chinese technology giant Alibaba. The EU suspects that the company is not taking sufficient measures to prevent the spread of illegal products and content on the Internet. The Wall Street Journal reported this.
The EC will examine whether the company violates the Digital Services Act (DSA) in areas related to risk management and mitigation, content moderation and internal complaint handling mechanisms, transparency of advertising and recommendation systems, monitoring and access to data of platform participants.
“AliExpress is committed to creating a safe and compliant marketplace for all consumers,” said a company spokesperson.
He said the company “has worked and will continue to work with relevant authorities to ensure compliance with current standards and meet the requirements of the DSA.”
It is noted that this is the third official investigation by the European Commission within the framework of the DSA; previously, similar actions were taken on the service for creating and watching short videos TikTok and the social network X.
We remind you that earlier the Italian regulator AGCM fined the TikTok application 10 million euros for insufficient measures to protect minors from harmful content.
And in the US they took a step towards banning TikTok. The House of Representatives has backed a bill to ban TikTok on American soil.
