PETALING JAYA: Professional men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia survived a scare before storming into the semi-finals of the Thailand Open in Bangkok on Friday.
The groups accuse Temu of ‘failing to protect consumers and for using manipulative practices which are illegal’, known as dark patterns, and demanded an investigation. — AFPEuropean consumer groups on May 16 accused Chinese shopping app Temu of using"manipulative techniques" to force users to spend more and other violations of a landmark EU tech law.
Europe's BEUC umbrella consumer rights group filed a complaint with the European Commission while 17 member organisations in Europe including in France, Germany and Spain have done the same with national authorities. They believe Temu is distorting or impairing consumers' ability to make"free and informed decisions" while shopping online, in violation of the EU's mammoth online content law known as the Digital Services Act .
The platform fails to provide enough information about traders on Temu,"frequently leaving consumers in the dark about who they are purchasing products from", BEUC said.
