Ultra-low-cost e-commerce giants Shein and Temu have only recently been confirmed as subject to centralized enforcement of the strictest layer of the European Union’s digital services regulation, the Digital Services Act (DSA), but on Friday the Commission announced it’s sent a bunch of requests for information (RFI) to both platforms vis-à-vis to their compliance with various requirements of the law.
Never heard of these… are they popular amongst teens and university students or something?

Probably, I don’t know much about Temu but its ads are all over instagram, it just sells stuff ridiculously cheap which is enough to make me highly suspect of whatever they’re doing. Shein is an online clothes store that uses essentially slave labor to make very cheap made to order clothes. It’s just basic capitalism race to the bottom stuff.
