00:00A Paris court has rejected the French government's request to suspend the Chinese online retailer Shine for three months.
00:10The decision came after Shine was found selling childlike sex dolls, weapons like brass knuckles and banned medications.
00:20Judges ruled that a full suspension would be disproportionate because the platform has removed the illegal items.
00:26However, Shine must implement reliable age verification before resuming sales of any sexual products.
00:35The court acknowledged serious harm to public order but called the incident isolated.
00:42A criminal probe now targets Shine, AliExpress, Temu and others while France pushes for tighter EU rules on foreign platforms.
00:51Shine says its French site remains closed pending an internal audit.
