France summons eBay and Vinted over sale of looted goods

France's Digital Minister Anne Le Henanff has summoned representatives from platforms like Vinted and eBay to remove listings of items allegedly stolen during recent riots, as images of such ads circulate on social media. The minister stated that stolen goods from weekend looting are being offered on several platforms, prompting invitations to Vinted, Amazon, eBay, Leboncoin, Meta, TikTok, and trade association Fevad for a meeting. Vinted claims a "zero tolerance" policy and active cooperation with French authorities, while eBay says it cannot confirm a rise in theft-related listings but uses proactive detection tools. The unrest damaged over 3,000 French businesses, with thousands of shops looted, according to authorities.
