Vinted removes ads for stolen goods during French protests

Vinted has removed listings of items likely stolen during recent protests in France and tightened controls on suspicious ads. Reports indicate that luxury brands were targeted during the unrest, with some sellers explicitly mentioning the protest date in their listings. French Digital Minister Le Hénanff has urged online platforms to take down such ads immediately and to cooperate with authorities for prosecution. Vinted claims to be working with French authorities and has warned that rule-breaking accounts may face permanent bans.
