Grow grass" or become a scam

  Regarding the secrets of deceiving fans’ feelings, Yang Chen, a lawyer at Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm, said that in the name of sharing real experiences, they actually provide businesses with paid promotion services, which deceive or induce audiences. It is a false advertisement that can be punished in accordance with the "Advertising Law" and other relevant laws and regulations.

  In addition, some fans were not only emotionally deceived, but also bought fake and shoddy products.

In this regard, Yang Chen said that if the blogger’s “grass” products do not meet the requirements for personal and property safety, the blogger should bear the corresponding responsibility.

  “If the blogger knows that the products or services provided by the business have serious quality defects, he still helps the business conduct false propaganda under the name of sharing the real experience, and will still provide him with “grass” after he learns that the business has the purpose of illegally occupying other people’s property. 'Service, the blogger may become an accomplice in the business's fraud or other illegal and criminal acts."
