recently,The car blogger "Long Ge Talks Electric Car" (now renamed "Long Teacher Tesla Professional Repair") has been involved in goodwill infringement disputes one after another, involving BYD, Thalys (Wenjie), and Xpeng. The three cases were ordered to pay a total of 2.26 million yuan in compensation.. Among them, the blogger was ordered to pay 2 million yuan in compensation at the second instance for publishing false remarks to slander BYD. He was also ordered to pay 160,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan respectively for disparaging the brands of Cyrus and Xpeng.
After the verdict came into effect, the blogger released a public apology video and statement, admitting that he had published inappropriate remarks that lacked factual basis, fabricated false information to damage the reputation of the car company, and had deleted all infringing content.
When faced with compensation, he said that he was raising money to pay compensation. During the live broadcast, he repeatedly emphasized that he had "confiscated any dirty money", but at the same time complained that "I dare not tell the truth in the future, so I can only repair cars honestly."
While publicly apologizing and acknowledging punishment, he also "claimed that he dared not tell the truth." The blogger's remarks immediately attracted widespread attention, and the vast majority of netizens believed that he had brought it upon himself.
In this regard, the lawyer clearly pointed out that the core reason why the blogger lost the lawsuit was that the critical remarks were not supported by credible evidence such as data and inspection reports, and were mostly subjective assumptions or false fabrications, which constituted an infringement of business reputation.
Also remind,The Internet is not an illegal place. Self-media evaluations of products must be objective and fair, and criticisms must be based on solid grounds. Do not fabricate false information to gain traffic or violate legal red lines..
