O platformă internațională, amendată cu 550 de milioane de euro de UE pentru vânzarea de produse contrafăcute • Newsweek România

The European Commission has fined AliExpress €550 million for allowing the sale of counterfeit and unsafe products in the EU. This is the largest penalty under the Digital Services Act, highlighting the platform's failure to protect consumers. The fine reflects the severity and duration of the violations, which persisted until at least June 2025. AliExpress's system for detecting illegal products was deemed ineffective, allowing dangerous items to remain available for weeks despite detection.
