Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin sued Chinese e-commerce company Temu for violating the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Arkansas Personal Information Protection Act. Griffin described Temu as a data-theft business disguised as an online marketplace, alleging it illegally accessed users’ personal information and monetized the data without authorization. The lawsuit targets Temu’s parent companies, PDD Holdings Inc. and WhaleCo Inc., seeking to halt their deceptive practices, impose civil penalties, and provide monetary and equitable relief to affected Arkansas residents.
