The probe is being launched under a mammoth law known as the Digital Services Act that forces the world’s largest tech firms to do more to protect European consumers online. Temu will also have to explain what measures it is taking to address any risks from its service, including game-like reward programmes.“Temu takes its obligations under the DSA seriously, continuously investing to strengthen our compliance system and safeguard consumer interests on our platform,” a Temu spokesperson said.
The EU stressed that the “opening of formal proceedings does not prejudge its outcome” and there is no deadline for the probe’s completion.
