Wish will be dereferenced to protect consumers đ |Macgeneration
Wish va ĂȘtre plus difficile Ă trouver en France dans les prochains jours. Le gouvernement a ordonnĂ© aux principaux moteurs de recherche ainsi qu'aux boutiques d'applications de dĂ©rĂ©fĂ©rencer cette place de marchĂ© populaire, une mesure rare. En cause, de graves manquements en matiĂšre de protection des consommateurs.
The survey conducted by the Directorate General for Competition, Consumption and the Repression of Frauds (DGCCRF) is overwhelming.On more than 140 products sold on Wish, âa large number of [are] non-complies and dangerous products, with particularly high dangerousness rates for certain families of products such as toys (95 % non-compliant, including 45 % dangerous), electrical devices (95 % non -compliant, 90 % dangerous) and costume jewelry (62 % dangerous), âsays the government.A small list of dangerous products has been put online: there are lamps and chargers that have risks of electrocution, toys that have risks of suffocation, etc..
In addition, Wish's response in terms of withdrawals and reminders of non-conforming products is deemed unsatisfactory.Even if the dangerous products are removed within 24 hours, they often remain available on the platform under another denomination, sometimes marketed by the same seller, because the company does not keep the history of reports.
In the absence of compliance requested this summer by the DGCCRF, Wish will therefore see his visibility strongly limited in France.Within a maximum week, Wish should no longer appear in the search results of Google or Bing, nor in the App Store or Google Play (the platform is still referenced for the time being).It is a dereferencing and not a blockage as internet access providers can do so on the order of justice or the government for sites making the apology for terrorism, among others.Wish will therefore remain accessible on the web for whom knows their address or uses a search engine not concerned by the measurement.
Wish, who claims 100 million customers worldwide, specializes in products at broken prices.The company does not sell anything directly, it is a big bazaar where more or less attentive third-party sellers compete (rather less than more) on the quality of the products and where dropshipping prosperous, that is to say thelive delivery from the supplier, a sales method that can have important flaws.
Mise à jour à 14 h 30 : Wish vient de réagir à l'annonce du gouvernement en se disant « perplexe face à l'approche excessive [de la DGCCRF]»» à l'égard des demandes de retraits."We have repeatedly tried to initiate the dialogue in a constructive manner with the DGCCRF.We are now starting a legal appeal to challenge what we consider as an illegal and disproportionate action carried out by the DGCCRF, "says market place, which also says that it has taken several initiatives to" limit visibility [of sellers] which offerlesser quality items.»»
