BRUSSELS, Nov 6 (Reuters) - The European Commission is

in touch with French authorities as well as with Chinese online

retailer Shein following a French complaint about Shein allowing

pornographic content or weapons sales on its platform, an EU

spokesperson said on Thursday.

The spokesperson confirmed that the EU had received France's

letter urging action, adding that a platform allowing

pornographic content or selling weapons violate EU law and that

this will drive potential next steps from the EU commission.

The spokesperson said he was not aware of similar concerns

raised by other member states and that the EU does not have the

intention to suspend any platforms EU-wide.
