Just all of the best Temu memes to console you if you’ve signed your soul away for £40
Temu’s terms and conditions says it can use your ‘likeness, voice and opinion’ however it likes
It’s Temu’s world and we’re all just living in it right now. You can’t have a cheeky little scroll on Twitter without being hit left right and centre by people begging you to click their dodgy-looking links so you can both get free money.
As part of its cash reward scheme, you can win up to £50 in free cash via PayPal just for signing up to Temu and putting in your personal details in. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well it turns out there’s a scary catch. The “free money” you’re signing up for actually has a scary catch involved in that you’re essentially signing away your “likeness, voice and opinions” as well as your photos and other biographical information for Temu to use however it likes. The company is basically paying you for all your personal data.
The full terms and conditions of the scheme read: “Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, participation in the Program and/or receipt or use of Rewards constitutes a Member’s consent for Sponsor to use and publish such Member’s photo, name likeness, voice, opinions, statements, biographical information, and/or hometown and state for promotional or advertising purposes in any media worldwide, now known or hereafter developed, in perpetuity without further review, notification, payment, or consideration.” Yikes.

A Temu spokesperson said: “Temu gathers user information solely for the purpose of delivering our service and to enhance customer experience. We do not sell user information. The terms and conditions highlighted are commonplace in similar promotions held by various companies across different sectors.”
But if you need comforting after you’ve just sold your soul to them for 40 quid, here are 18 Temu memes:
