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.”

    This feels a lot like the “violent video games cause violence” argument, but because it’s about child abuse, people don’t want to defend it.

    Are there actually any studies supporting your comment? I briefly looked and couldn’t find anything.
