EU Fines AliExpress $629M for Illegal Product Sales
The European Commission fined AliExpress €550 million ($629 million) for violating the Digital Services Act by failing to prevent the sale of illegal, unsafe, or counterfeit products. Regulators said the platform lacked effective measures to curb such listings. The fine is one of the largest under the DSA.

The fine signals the EU's willingness to enforce its new digital rules aggressively, but whether it will actually change AliExpress's marketplace behavior remains to be seen.
