China's biggest online shopping store in Europe paid $962M to fake influencers

Temu has allegedly invested close to one billion dollars in Meta advertising across Europe, drawing scrutiny regarding the authenticity of the influencers involved. Research indicates that many of these accounts may be fake, with one notable account, Ya Lili, significantly promoting Temu's products. This situation raises important concerns about advertising ethics and adherence to regulations, leading to an assessment by the EU's Digital Services Act regulator.
