Outrage has erupted in France after a Paris court refused to shut down Shein's online platform, despite evidence that the fast fashion giant had been selling childlike sex dolls, weapons and other illicit products to French consumers.
As reported by The Associated Press, the ruling on Friday blocked a request by the government of President Emmanuel Macron to suspend Shein's operations in France for at least three months, prompting criticism from politicians and campaigners who argue that the decision puts commercial freedom ahead of public safety and the protection of minors.
