AliExpress just got slapped with a 550 million euro fine by the European Commission for failing to stop illegal, unsafe, and fake goods from flooding its platform—violating the Digital Services Act. The EU says AliExpress doesn’t have enough staff to properly monitor products, banned items still appear in ads and recommendations, and dangerous listings linger for weeks. Worse, they don’t track if banned products reappear. This isn’t an isolated case—it’s part of a broader crackdown: Temu already paid 200 million euros, Shein is under investigation, and social media giants are also being targeted for violating digital safety rules. AliExpress has until October 20th to submit a fix plan—or face more penalties. The EU’s message is clear: online shoppers deserve safer, more trustworthy digital marketplaces.
