Update: A Shopee representative claimed that the company takes a zero-tolerance approach to the sale of prohibited items on its platform.

“Once we are made aware of any listings that are in breach of the laws or our policies, we take immediate action against such listings in order to protect the Shopee community,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
