Companies with more than 45 million users are regarded as VLOPs under the EU's Digital Services Act , facing stricter rules on online content that require them to do more to fight illegal and harmful content as well as counterfeit products on their platforms."We share the Commission’s ambition to ensure consumers in the EU can shop online with peace of mind, and we are committed to playing our part," Leonard Lin, Shein's global head of public affairs, said in a statement.
Shein, which is eyeing a U.S. initial public offering, launched its marketplace in the EU in August last year.Sixteen tech firms, including Amazon.com, Apple, Alibaba, Microsoft and three pornography sites, are subject to the DSA, with the bloc asking some for information on steps taken to counter illegal content and goods sold online.
The EU is already investigating social media platform X and ByteDance's TikTok. Violations can result in fines of as much as 6% of a company's global turnover.
