My mom is a graphic designer and Temu stole some of her work and began mass producing it. We found out about it recently. She sent a cease and desist letter to them, but they ignored it so I’m not sure what she’s gonna do next. Update: Temu eventually did reply and they apologized and took down the dress that had my moms pattern on it, so we didn’t need to take any legal action. However, Temu liked the design and wanted to buy rights to use it for a year. I can’t remember how much they wanted to buy it for, but she did let them buy rights for a year. If they want to keep using it once the year is over, then they will have to buy it again. That’s basically what happened. Sorry I didn’t put an update sooner, this happened awhile ago.

Pretty sure they do actually.... Another reviewer went over this pretty recently (forget his channels name though). He basically said the same as this guy, and that they make a lot of their money through invasive spying methods through their app and even the ads. Basically selling off our info in exchange for their "cheap" prices. All the way down to their reviews on the app store, it's all fake and too good to be true. They definitely have paid actors and paid reviews all over to make it seem legitimate but as we should all know by now... It's clearly not.

Truw! I read somewhere that Temu also has to pass their data on to the Chinese government. Don't know how true that is but they're very "controlling " with Chinese citizens so it might be true. I always check who the manufacturer is as well when I buy in-store and if it's made in China I don't buy. Everyone complains about the shortage of money but if they buy locally manufactured goods, you're supporting your own country's economy. I'm not on Tik Tok and haven't used Temu either. 😊

In the USA there is a law that they need to ask permission for data tracking and things of that sort and judging by the fact it was #1 on the app store at some point I would expect they looked for that.

[@NathanEspinoza]

Pinduoduo exploited a vulnerability in android os that allowed it to bypass those permission measures and gather all the info they wanted. Temu, on the other hand, is reportedly less aggressive with their data tracking but all it takes is one vulnerability and one app update and they can have access to as much data as they want. I wouldn’t put that much trust in a company with a tainted reputation.

All social media apps are free because you are the product. Shopping and gaming apps are collecting data one way or another too. Many major websites are tracking and collecting your data. It’s BIG business so it’s disingenuous for one to call out another. The real problem are the lawmakers who allow companies to hide things they hope you don’t see in long and confusing terms and conditions of service.

They're also required by law, to turnover all information obtained from users' phones, to the Chinese government. The U.S. is Temu's biggest customer. The information they're getting from customers' phone is worth more than their financial losses.

[@melodyboudreaux7141]

I tried Temu for a little while and decided I didn’t want their products. Many things were just pure junk, but a few things were ok. The thing I disliked the most was some of the things I ordered had such a bad smell to them and it lingered for days! I wondered what kind of place would smell so bad that all of its merchandise stank! I deleted the app and have not used them since. I don’t really order much from China any more either. Their clothing does not fit Americans for the most part, and returning items is way too difficult. I order from American sellers only unless the product is one I know I will keep. It’s time for us to take back our manufacturing jobs! I have items from the early 1900’s that were made in America and still function perfectly. All the China products are crap in comparison.

[@Zayn._gnx]

1900's😂😂, stop overexaggerating

[@theforgottenmovies3265]

I recommend Temu. It is very good and I have never had any problems with them. The sad thing is that people in USA can buy different stuff from Temu than I can buy. It would be the same in every country but sadly not. I live in Sweden and everything has been so expensive here so that is a reason we buy from Temu.

[@ryan.hayworth]

Temu is just a bootleg Amazon

[@Arizona_lilly]

Not even close

[@alfaromeo6985]

As long as Temu does not use any Amazon emblem there is no violation. Amazon certainly wants to shut down Temu. I saw a military style canvas belt on Amazon at $14 Prime price. That exact same thing was on Temu for only $2. The only catch is Amazon delivers within 48 hours while it takes 15 days for Temu.

[@feraltrashgoose]

My theory is that they don't make their profit from selling the items but rather make their profit from gathering and selling your data (like a majority of apps) which allows them to sell the items at the lowest possible price so that they aren't losing money. Which attracts people to the site so they can steal more data. Plus they use cheap (probably child and sweatshop) labor.

[@Tyanlandon]

temu main source of income is manipulative marketing and the invite system which lets more users on the platform.
