French ministers held a video call on Monday with Vinted, Leboncoin, Amazon, eBay, Meta, and TikTok, demanding they pull listings for goods looted from over 3,000 businesses during last weekend’s protests, according to Sasha Rogelberg at Fortune. Cosmetics, skincare, and handbags began appearing on resale sites within hours of the looting, and a hashtag naming October 17, when many of the protests took place, trended on Vinted. Vinted said it’s seeing a clear jump in luxury listings and that it’s working with French authorities. The platforms committed to flagging suspicious listings for police, watching for red flags like unusually low prices, bulk lots, and items still wearing security tags, reminding buyers that purchasing stolen property is illegal, and publishing their removal counts.
