The largest DSA fine yet — and Shein is under investigation too.

The Commission fined Temu €200 million in May — the biggest Digital Services Act fine so far — for an inadequate risk assessment of illegal and unsafe products on its marketplace. Temu must file a remediation plan by 28 August. A formal investigation into Shein opened in February; X was fined €120 million in December.
