France’s consumer watchdog has reported the Asian fast fashion giant Shein to authorities for selling “sex dolls with a childlike appearance” on its website.

The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) said the online description and categorisation of the dolls “makes it difficult to doubt the child pornography nature of the content”.

Shein later told the BBC: “The products in question were immediately delisted as soon as we became aware of these serious issues.”

    I don’t think either of us are saying it should happen. It was more of a tongue in cheek joke about how paedophiles are being used to justify censorship, identity politics and restrict freedoms.

    I’m too lazy to look it up at the moment but some governments were looking into ways to tag everything made on a 3D printer so it could be traced back to an owner, but that was because of ghost guns. I don’t agree with that, either.
