Netizens "swipe volume" to earn registration rewards and were judged to be invalid. Court: Violation of the principle of good faith
Socialist Core Values Integrity
Guangzhou Daily News (All Media Reporter Charter) The concept of integrity should not only be reflected in all aspects of real life, but also should be promoted and observed in cyberspace.
In addition to destroying the market order of fair competition, behaviors such as network navy and traffic fraud will also erode social trust in cyberspace.
The Guangzhou Internet Court heard a case in which netizens "swiped" to register new users in order to earn platform rewards, and found that the use of deceptive methods to create false followers, and then using reward activities to make profits violated the principle of good faith and disrupted the normal order of e-commerce activities. Counterfeiters are not allowed to receive rewards.
In order to promote and operate a mobile phone application software, a network technology company in Guangzhou launched the activity of inviting friends to register and reward cash red envelopes. You can get a certain amount of cash.
In order to get the reward, Lin Hua (pseudonym) has invited 9,404 new accounts to register. However, some of the above-mentioned newly registered users are fake users who use the mobile phone number of "Maochi", and some are professional groups who earn red envelopes and other benefits, not real. users in the sense.
After that, when Lin Hua was performing the bonus withdrawal operation, the software showed that his withdrawal application failed.
After consultation, the customer service staff of the network technology company replied that due to Lin Hua's illegal operations, the income was invalid and the withdrawal operation was frozen.
Lin Hua refused to accept it, and sued the court, requesting the network technology company to pay him a bonus of 31,000 yuan.
The effective judgment of the Guangzhou Internet Court held that the announcement of the Internet technology company for its users to invite friends to register and reward cash red envelopes is a reward advertisement.
Lin Hua ostensibly invited a large number of new users for the APP involved, but the purpose of such members registering as new users is only to obtain corresponding rewards, rather than actually using the APP involved, and cannot form a real user. Using the device to fictitious users is similar, and should be regarded as a "swipe" operation.
Lin Hua's "sweeping" behavior is actually using deception to create the illusion of completing a specific behavior, and then making use of reward activities for profit, which violates the principle of good faith.
"Buying" behavior disrupts the normal order of e-commerce activities and damages the legitimate rights and interests of Internet companies, and should not be supported and encouraged.
To this end, the judgment dismissed all of Lin Hua's claims.
