As far as I can tell they for me also seem to not do their due diligence when it comes to handling consumer deception and abuse of their marked platform.
Honestly I'm surprised that there have not been any larger scale legal consequences given that Amazone seems to be economically harmful to the domestic market (kills domestic competition but in different to the competition manages to avoid a lot more taxes) of most non-US countries and it's given them perfect munition to use PR and legal means under the guise of consumer protection against it.
Just to be clear protectionism is a dangerous tool, which only should be wielded in a generic non target specific way, like requiring online shopping platforms, even if they sometimes just act as a proxy, to fulfill a certain degree of due diligence when it comes to effectively handling fraudulent companies selling through them. That also probably could get ride of TEMU (which is more a tool of spying, economical warfar and other bad stuff then any honest competitive selling platform, they are losing too much money on each sale for that).
I mean a think which had been true before the internet was that if you can't provide a service reasonable safely you can't provide it at all (grossly oversimplified, not that people didn't try and got away with it). No reason this shouldn't apply to the internet. (Many TEMU products are not legal to be imported in the EU, often due to safety reasons, sometimes due to other reasons like being imitations of (Nazi germany time) Nazi artifices and stuff like that).
