The European Commission has accepted Temu's plan to correct a risk assessment violation under the Digital Services Act, giving it four months for implementation while the €200 million fine remains in place.
The European Commission has accepted Temu's plan to address its risk assessment violation under the Digital Services Act, according to a report published by the "Irish Examiner".
