France investigates Shein and Temu after sex doll scandal
Published: 11/5/2025

France is investigating online retailers Shein, Temu, AliExpress, and Wish for potentially enabling minors to access pornographic content on their platforms. The investigation follows concerns raised by the country's consumer watchdog about the sale of childlike sex dolls on Shein's platform. The Paris prosecutor's office is looking into violent, pornographic, or "undignified messages" that may be accessible to minors on these platforms. The companies under investigation have not yet commented on the matter.
