The European Commission has fined AliExpress €550 million for breaching the Digital Services Act by failing to assess and mitigate risks related to illegal, unsafe, or counterfeit products on its platform.

Today, we fined AliExpress €550M for breaching its obligations under the DSA to diligently assess and mitigate risks relating to the sale of illegal, unsafe or counterfeit products on its e-commerce platform. Scale is not an excuse; risks must be identified and addressed systematically to ensure consumers can safely shop online. Today, we are holding AliExpress to this standard and request it to take action. https://link.europa.eu/7qbWHK
