WeChat has stated that such behavior is suspected of violating the legal red line, not only disrupting normal market order, but also squeezing out normal channels for people to protect their rights, making it difficult for users to receive timely processing of their reasonable demands, which has attracted high attention from all sectors of society. According to the announcement, WeChat firmly resists the use of the Internet platform to teach malicious complaints, illegal profits and other illegal acts that disrupt the normal social order, strictly governs relevant illegal content, and further protects the legitimate rights and interests of users.
On June 6, the Tiktok Security Center announced that, in recent years, with the increase of complaint and rights protection channels, individual accounts have tried to publish and disseminate "abetting reports" or "false reports", or even seek benefits improperly. For example, illegal and irregular behaviors such as reporting and requesting compensation from the sending company after receiving paid collection of "junk" text messages, or using product quality as a pretext to extort compensation for buying fake products. The above content and behavior have disrupted the normal market order and seriously violated platform rules. The platform firmly opposes such profit-making "anti-counterfeiting" and "claims" behaviors and severely crack down on such dissemination content.

Once such behavior is discovered, the illegal account will be dealt with strictly and severely.
