Supervision of live webcasts needed to curb charity cheats
KUAISHOU, A LIVE BROADCAST APP, recently announced it was permanently deleting 21 registered accounts, as the owners were involved in a charity fraud in which they broadcast videos of themselves giving money to poor people, but after the filming took the money back. Their fraudulent deeds deserve legal punishments, not only the deletion of their Kuaishou accounts, says Southern Metropolis Daily:
Those making money in this way first make themselves known for charitable donations to attract followers, then they solicit commercial advertisements or donations from their followers.
Currently, the account owners only get their accounts deleted, but they should be investigated to see if they have broken the law. The money made in this way is, doubtlessly, illegal, because the Charity Law unambiguously prohibits any cheating in the name of charity.
