EU imposes record €550 million penalty on AliExpress for illegal products

TL;DR Summary
Brussels fined AliExpress €550 million—the largest ever under the Digital Services Act—for failing to curb illegal and unsafe products, due in part to weak moderation and issues with its recommender/advertising systems; AliExpress has until Oct. 20 to present an action plan to address the infringements or face further penalties.
