20 Jul 2026 AliExpressDSA: 550 million EUR against AliExpress over illegal and unsafe products EU levelPlatform obligations €550m

AliExpress did not diligently assess the risks posed by illegal, unsafe and counterfeit products (including insufficient moderation capacity, recommender and advertising systems) and did not take effective countermeasures (including deficient enforcement of sanctions against traders, product checks that could be circumvented). The European Commission imposed 550 million EUR under the Digital Services Act (DSA) and required an action plan by 20 October 2026.

What organisations can take from it

The size of a marketplace does not justify gaps: moderation capacity and sanctions against traders must match the actual risk.

28 May 2026 TemuDSA: 200 million EUR against Temu over deficient risk assessment of illegal products EU levelPlatform obligations €200m

Temu's 2024 risk assessment was based on general industry data rather than on findings about its own service and underestimated how often EU consumers encounter illegal products; test purchases revealed unsafe chargers and baby toys. The European Commission imposed 200 million EUR under the Digital Services Act (DSA) and required an action plan by 28 August 2026.

What organisations can take from it

Risk assessments must be based on the company's own, service-specific evidence – generic industry analyses are not sufficient.

18 Jun 2025 AliExpressAliExpress: DSA commitments on illegal products and trader transparency made binding EU levelPlatform obligations Order

The European Commission declared binding commitments by AliExpress relating, among other things, to the detection of illegal products such as medicines and food supplements (including via hidden links and affiliate programmes), the notice and complaint system, the transparency of advertising and recommender systems, the traceability of traders and data access for researchers; an independent monitoring trustee oversees implementation. In parallel, it made a preliminary finding of a breach of the obligation to carry out a risk assessment.

What organisations can take from it

Marketplaces must systematically detect illegal products – including where they are offered via detours such as affiliate links.
