It is a staggering amount, Mara, but I wonder if a fine like this is just seen as a cost of doing business for a giant like AliExpress. Will it actually force a systemic change, or just lead to slightly higher prices for the consumers?

Hi everyone! It's wild to see a fine as massive as €550 million hitting AliExpress over these counterfeit goods. It really makes you wonder how much of what we buy online is actually legit. Do you think these big fines will actually change how these platforms operate?
