The European Commission finds Temu in breach of EU online platform rules.

The European Commission said on Monday that Chinese e-commerce platform Temu is in breach of the Digital Services Act (DSA) for not properly assessing the risks of illegal products it sells on its website.

The preliminary findings come after the Commission opened an investigation into Temu under the DSA in October last year.

The Conversation: 6 simple questions to tell if a ‘finfluencer’ is more flash than cash. “The regulator responsible for financial products and advice, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), has issued warning notices to 18 social media finfluencers.

"More than half of all green claims that companies put on products in Europe are vague, exaggerated, or just plain false.
A new European law was supposed to stop this greenwashing. It would have forced companies to prove their environmental claims — with independent checks and real penalties for lying.
But two weeks ago, just before the final round of talks, the European Commission suddenly pulled the plug on this law — after pressure from conservative and far-right politicians who want to destroy all the environmental laws we fought hard for. ... If thousands of citizens add their voices to this outrage, while the European Commission is divided, our leaders will not be able to quietly kill the law. Let’s force them to restart the talks and pass a law that holds companies accountable for scam green promises."

WeMove EuropeNo more “green” lies! Don’t let the EU kill the anti-greenwashing law.Kill another green law? The EU wants to continue protecting polluters spreading greenwashing lies. Finally political momentum is on our side to stop this. Sign to demand the anti-greenwashing law.

Damnit! Well my day just got fecked up. Got a letter today from Liberty Mutual Insurance. In two days, my home owners insurance is cancelled. Two feck'n days. Letter arrived on a Saturday. Insurance is cancelled on Monday at midnight. This is bullshit. #Insurance

Based on the reasons in the letter, they must have used old satellite photos and old public Zillow or real estate for sale photos because it mentions:

*Roof, poor condition, but we had a new roof installed, along with fascia boards, in 2023. It was a total rip out so only one layer now.

*Gutters- no downspouts— We had new seamless gutters installed at the same time as the roof

*Furnace oil tank rust: When the new energy efficient furnace was put in in 2021, we had a new, modern tank installed.

All of those items they listed as reasons makes me think they, or their underwriting AI program, used old, public photos of the house, inside and exterior. Nobody came, esp to do an inspection of the inside oil tank in the basement.

The letter has no directions on how to dispute and prevent them from cancelling. It just says I can request a copy of the report they relied on and dispute. No directions, phone number, etc. #ConsumerRights #Consumer #Legal #Law #Ohio #ConsumerProtection #LibertyMutual .
