The French government will appeal a Paris court ruling that rejected its request for a three-month suspension of online platform Shein, it said in a statement on Friday after the court said such a suspension would be disproportionate.
Earlier, a Paris court ordered Shein to implement age verification measures for any adult products sold via its French website and set a 10 000-euro 11 709 fine for any breach, after uproar over childlike sex dolls sold on its marketplace.
The ruling on Friday comes as authorities try to force Shein to tighten oversight of products sold by third parties on its site, and as France attempts to crack down on it and other platforms.
