European Commission accepts Temu plan to fix its Digital Services Act breach
The online marketplace has committed to five measures aimed at the availability of illegal products on its platform, the European Commission said on Monday.
AI illustrationThe European Commission said on Monday, 26 October 2026, that it has accepted an action plan from Temu meant to bring the online marketplace into compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA) and to address the availability of illegal products online.
According to the Commission, the plan rests on five measures to correct Temu's breach of the DSA.
- Temu will carry out a risk analysis specific to its own platform.
- It will use reliable metrics to judge how well the mitigation measures it has put in place reduce the risk that illegal content is spread.
- It will assess the limits of its content moderation.
- It will analyse whether, and how, its recommender systems may amplify the spread of illegal goods.
- It will examine the effect of deliberate manipulation and amplification of illegal items, including cases where sellers exploit Temu's features to spread potentially illegal listings.
The Commission said the company now has four months to conduct an interim risk assessment. That assessment covers a six-month period, until 30 November 2026, and is intended to ensure that the measures in the plan are implemented.
The acceptance reportedly comes after the Chinese-owned retailer was fined €200 million in May.
