The ugliest manifestation of this fraud is political fraud, in which a group of these people is used to spread certain political messages in favor of local forces in some countries, and the most dangerous are hostile foreign forces. Most influential people have various psychological complexes and a limitless greed for money or money. Get false appreciation from followers.
This monument is dangerous and needs to be discussed separately, but there is the monument that we know, namely the Commercial and Financial Monument.
Therefore, it was understandable what happened some time ago in France when, in response to a wave of online fraud, it launched a campaign on social media sites that targeted many users, including influencers of these networks, their followers convinced them to give up their savings to donate to miraculous cancer treatments. And other counterfeit products.
A new French law requires online content creators to pay hefty fines and also face two years in prison if convicted of promoting dangerous services or deceptive business practices.
A study of 60 individual influencers and influencer agencies conducted by the General Directorate of Competition, Consumer Affairs and Anti-Fraud in France from January 2023 found that 60 percent of social media influencers did not respect advertising and consumer rights regulations.
Will this law limit the opportunities of fraudsters on social media platforms in France? The BBC report responds that this change in the law may not lead to the end of the era of influencers or scammers, as French rapper Bubba once described them.
The phenomenon of “influencers” on social media platforms is not limited to a country without a country or a society without a society, but is a global phenomenon.
It is as if those who are described as influencers are manufactured in a factory, whether women or men, young or old, whatever race, color, religion or sect they belong to.
Therefore, state institutions and societies have begun to observe and interact with this phenomenon, taking into account the possibilities of influence of this group of people on the details of the lives of people, their children and all family members.
Things have reached the point of “shame” and the professionalism of some of these influential people when it comes to fraud and fraud, and this fraud and fraud is based on images and colors.
The Age of the Fraud… the truest description of what we live in today’s world, a fraud of mind and soul… and a fraud of money and pockets.
