The European Commission has designated Chinese e-commerce marketplace Temu as a 'very large online platform' under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This designation means Temu, which has over 45 million monthly users in the EU, must comply with stricter regulations by the end of September 2024. The new rules, reported by TechCrunch, aim to enhance transparency and accountability, ensuring that large platforms adhere to higher standards of content moderation and user protection. Announced on Friday, Temu joins other platforms like Shein in facing increased scrutiny from the EU.
