EU Slaps AliExpress with $550M Fine | Global News

The EU just slapped AliExpress with a record €550 million fine for letting unsafe toys and fake designer goods flood its platform—highlighting how the Digital Services Act is holding big tech accountable. Despite claims of improvements, AliExpress failed to properly detect or remove illegal items, often letting them linger for weeks. This is the third major fine under the new law, following Temu and X, sending a clear message: online marketplaces can’t afford to ignore the dangers on their sites. AliExpress has until October 20th to pay and submit a concrete plan to fix the problem. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
