  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

I think this phenomenon is global. I watch American YouTubers and they get the same shitty TEMU ads. It is so obviously a scam. Or at least deception. But so many people are too greedy and fall for it. My sister ordered something there and wondered that the quality is shit. Not sure what she ordered. But hell I can't imagine that 2 bucks for new brand shoes/jackets etc. might be a suspicious deal. I dodge the media reporting on it because I have to see these ads so often and I am simply annoyed. Usually I have ad blocker on and but not on my phone for example. How can people be so blind and believe they give good quality products almost for free.?I think there are also bait games where they depict it like you won something for free on their website.

I watched the German TV news and they said: Within the last 6 months 25% of all Germans have ordered something on this platform...holy shit. I only know one person. I have watched a video of a laywer that said you can get into legal trouble, might have to pay taxes or fees. if you order there. (potentially not sure about the laws in other countries). Of course many products fail Western product quality tests so it might incease the chance for getting cancer for example I assume.

They also said that 200 k parcels arrive to Germany every single day from TEMU. (devastating for the enviironment, sustainability)
That experts consider it a potential threat for Amazon in the market dominance. After learnig this fact I am interested to learn more about Temu. The information I have so far is very superficial. The conglomerate/ bigger company behind it seemingly has a lot of capital. So China aims to get market shares of Amazon seemingly. Holy shit this thread contains so much half-knowledge and speculations. I should do better research but I am so exhausted. I feel sort of manic but I soon have exams and need to study so fucking hard. I am so scared about devloping a new manic episode I sleep so fucking poorly. Fuck my life.

What were your experiences with Temu? Is my description of the quality accurate?

I thought it would be dodgy too. I ordered a few things that I had every confidence wouldn't turn up and/or would be awful but they turned up on time and were comparable quality to most other things I've ordered of the same type.

Probably depends on what you're buying but I mean- a lot of stuff on Ebay has probably been made in the same places!

I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised. It likely does vary though. Don't they have guarantees though- the same as Ebay?

I cannot answer the quesion you pose in the last sentence. But I have made so far almost only very good experiences with Ebay. (which seems to be seldom.)

There are reports the site is illegally harvesting data from users, uses forced labour and produces articles that don't meet western safety requirements. It's not a place I'd use, but if you have and you're happy with the product, then 🤷🏻‍♀️
