The European Union’s investigation into the Chinese online shopping platform Temu to ensure that Temu’s goods meet EU standards and do not harm consumers. The EU is concerned about counterfeit items, aggressive sales tactics, and the platform’s addictive design. Temu has rapidly expanded in Europe and is considering joining a European anti-counterfeit group.
Temu is a handy way of getting cheap AliExpress tat with combined shipping. Otherwise you can end up with 10 tiny packages you have to go get from the post office spread across two weeks.
I agree with all the EU claims though, the site is designed to mislead and hook people who can’t filter out all the predatory tactics it utilizes. There are no “deals” or scarcity, nor really any quality control.
