EU Fines Alibaba Record $629M Under Digital Services Act

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechRepublic ·

The European Commission fined Alibaba €550 million ($629 million) for failing to curb counterfeit goods on AliExpress, marking the largest penalty under the Digital Services Act. The fine targets the platform's inadequate content moderation and compliance with EU rules. Alibaba has not yet announced whether it will appeal the decision.

Meridian48 take
The record fine signals the EU's aggressive enforcement of the DSA, but its impact on Alibaba's marketplace practices remains to be seen.
