TEMU is cleaning up, I think we should be afraid. What do others think.

I have bought quite a lot of clothes recently from TEMU. 

The prices are ridiculously cheap and you only have to spend $15 to get free postage.

Perhaps they are doing a Bunnings and wiping out all the competition.

Basically I rarely sell clothes myself, but what are other sellers thoughts on this?

If you look at the ownership and the history of the connected companies, and ask yourself why Temu are so aggressively advertising all over the internet and specifically to Australians in Australian advertising spaces right now, you may be as convinced as I am that there is a very obvious and worrying answer.

Information and identity are valuable commodities. Foreign governments who don’t respect the personal information of others in other countries - who are unequivocally known to sponsor hacking and spying and trying to influence politics of other countries - are not governments to whom I wish to surrender any of my details or habits or preferences or likings or weaknesses or patterns or connections. 

Australians are unfortunately known to be a soft target. Just dangle cheap prices like nicely baited hooks in the sea of e-commerce and watch the little fishies leap into those hooks…? That’s not how I want Australians to act or to be perceived. I can only control my behaviour… and mention my concerns in the hope of persuading others to be wary … but I fear that nothing I say will outdo those glistening lures of cheap tat and in-your-face advertising.
