@EUCommission werden dann auch die Punktesammelei bei den ganzen Datensammlern verboten also zum Beispiel bei der Kaufland Card oder der von Lidl oder von Paypack oder oder oder wäre doch mal ein Schritt der wichtig wäre aber darum geht es nicht es geht darum das man die waren über heimische Händler verkaufen möchte für das 5 - 100fache was man dort zahlt

> including content that could constitute child sexual abuse material
Wait, what the fuck did they sell? I thought Shein only sold dirt-cheap clothing. WTF?!?
> including giving consumers points or rewards for engagement
That just feels hypercritical (looking at e.g. Lidl, Rewe, Payback, ...)
> The transparency of the recommender systems used to propose content and products to users
Also feels hypercritical, here, not even Otto, Kaufland, ... do that in their online stores

@EUCommission Many things are wrong with Shein and Temu. Luckily, I have never shopped there. Personally, I think there should be a pan-European alternative to Amazon. If someone is to write a book, and use that platform to distribute it, whether in paperback or in digital format (KDP), Amazon gets a big cut out of the earnings. And there is really no reason why they should be able to extract that kind of free rent from us. (1/2)

@EUCommission Therefore I think there should be a pan-European alternative for it to distribute books, and knowledge in other forms. (The same argument can be made for e-learning platforms such as Udemy or Skillshare). 2/2
