I can see why Temu is so attractive - NOT.
They steal Australian designers’ and artists’ designs and produce them in poorer quality for dirt cheap prices without acknowledgement or payment. I’d call that as bleepy as bleepity bleep. Do you not?
They produce the items with dangerous materials simply because the cost is as cheap as possible. Carcinogenic dyes, fabrics, plastics, prints, etc. I’d call that bleeped to the max. Wouldn’t you?
They impart your information to the Chinese government - your browsing, your purchases, what those purchases tell them about you and your family and social network and social media and ID (name, address, phone, type of payment, etc ) and from there they can piece together your politics and beliefs and what sort of online arguments and social media material might sway you and so on. Not bleepy? I consider it bleep bleep bleep bleep.
NB: All bleeps in this post were posted as just that - the letters B L double E P. They are not disguised profanity. 👼😇
No… I won’t be buying from Temu or AliEXPRESS or dhgate. I use eBay as and when I wish to, in the knowledge that I can choose reputable sellers - authorised Australian businesses, or European or American businesses etc - from whom I can buy with confidence.
