Last November, the French fraud control services requested the delisting of the online sales platform Wish.
A measure taken because of the presence of products considered non-compliant and dangerous on the platform.
The site and the application of the e-commerce service have thus disappeared from search engines and application stores in France.
Access to the site is still possible, but the goal is to decrease the visibility of Wish in order to discourage users from transacting there.
This decision was taken as part of an investigation by the Directorate General for Competition, Consumption and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) on the safety of products sold on online marketplaces.
She considered that a large number of products were not compliant and even dangerous.
The administration also found that problematic products eventually reappeared under a different name.
Not having obtained a satisfactory response from the platform, the DGCCRF decided to dereference Wish until the company came back into compliance with the law.
Wish tries a new remedy
Faced with this decision, the online sales platform asked the courts to cancel this sanction.
The Paris administrative court, however, announced that Wish's appeal had been rejected.
The judge stressed that the platform had not shown that it had complied with Bercy's injunctions to ensure better safety in the products it sells.
Ultimately, if the sanction is not enough, the French government could completely ban the site on its territory.
Wish said in a statement that he would appeal the decision to the Council of State.
