PARIS: France has ordered search engines to remove US-based e-commerce platform Wish from their results over it selling substandard or unsafe products, the economy ministry said Nov 24.

Search engines like Google are expected to remove the website – which offers cheap, mostly Chinese products – from their results in the coming days.
