    Wait, were the child sex dolls ALLOWED before? Because that kinda makes the nonsense of “oh no, you failed to detect one product in a sea of tens of millions” into something more of an actual issue

      The article suggests they didn’t care what gets sold, but now they do about this particular topic.

      The other stuff, such as lead paint toys, remain unchecked.

      An Australian article regarding this issue and Shein as well, but also about the third-party in question. But anyways, even when these third-party shops get taken down, they’ll pop up again and try different tricks to relabel their product or sell it piecemeal or something. It’s not like taking them off a distribution site stops them from producing and trying to sell, they’ll just try and find a different means to sell.

      There wasn’t any rule against it I guess. I’m sure actual child abuse content is against the law, but technically this doesn’t involve actual children so it wasn’t prohibited.
