France orders online platforms to curb stolen goods sales after looting spree

Following a wave of looting, the French government has directed major online resale platforms—Vinted, Amazon, eBay, Meta, and TikTok—to cooperate with police to prevent the sale of stolen goods. The move signals a regulatory push to hold platforms accountable for illicit commerce, though enforcement mechanisms remain unclear. This could set a precedent for other EU states grappling with similar issues.
