    After being banned from India in 2020 along with other Chinese apps, Shein won a rare exception — but it comes with strict parameters.

    NBC News reports that merchants on platforms like Etsy, eBay, and Redbubble are selling t-shirts, stickers and other products inspired by the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week.
