Shein Investigated, Real Madrid Match Halted by Racism

The European Union has launched an investigation into the fast-fashion giant Shein over potential violations of digital law, including the sale of childlike sex dolls, according to BBC Business. The EU's executive arm, the European Commission (EC), will examine Shein's systems for preventing the sale of illegal products, including content that could constitute child sexual abuse material. The investigation also covers the "addictive design" of Shein's platform and the transparency of its product suggestion system.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid's Champions League match against Benfica was halted for 11 minutes after Vinicius Junior reported a racial slur from a Benfica player, as reported by Sky News. The incident occurred shortly after Vinicius scored, giving Real Madrid a 1-0 lead in the first leg of the playoff. The match took place at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal.

In other news, Syria has begun evacuating the remaining residents of Al-Hol camp, which houses relatives of suspected Islamic State (IS) fighters, according to Euronews. Government forces took control of the camp from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) last month. Al-Hol, located in the northeastern Hasakeh province, was Syria's largest camp for family members of suspected IS militants.

Additionally, Real Madrid defeated Benfica 1-0 in their Champions League playoff first leg, with Vinicius Jr. scoring the winning goal, Al Jazeera reported. The match was marred by the racism row, with Vinicius accusing Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni of directing a racist slur at him. The referee halted the match under FIFA's anti-racism protocol.

Shein stated that "Protecting minors and reducing the risk of harmful content and behaviours are central to how we develop and operate," according to BBC Business. The EC will investigate the company's practices to ensure compliance with EU digital law.

In a separate development, an undercover operation foiled an IS plot to massacre Jews in Manchester, as detailed in a podcast by The Guardian. The plot involved two IS terrorists.

DEVELOPING: Tesla Avoids California Suspension After Autopilot Removal!

Tesla avoids a 30-day license suspension in California by ceasing the use of "Autopilot" in its vehicle marketing within the state, resolving a three-year-long dispute with the DMV. This decision allows Tesla to continue sales in its largest U.S. market, following concerns that the term misled consumers about the capabilities of its advanced driver-assistance systems. The company's shift to "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" reflects an industry-wide push for clearer communication about autonomous driving features.
