CTOnews.com, December 19 (Xinhua)-- Douyin has issued an official announcement announcing that it will crack down on six new types of violations, including "AIGC (generative artificial intelligence) fraud."

According to a person in charge of the Douyin Security Center, the new account practice to be cracked down on this time will first include the use of artificial intelligence technology (AIGC) to create virtual characters and imitate real people, thereby publishing the so-called "emotional chicken soup", "popular science knowledge", "getting rich through financial management" and so on.

Second, there are black ash production gangs trying to use all kinds of tools to steal other people's live or short video content, which are simply edited and released in large quantities. There are also some group accounts disguised as Douyin "official accounts", calling themselves "official co-creators of the platform", imparting secret books such as so-called "fast followers" in the form of "paid lectures" and inducing users to buy courses.

In addition, the Douyin Security Center also disclosed that some black gray group accounts confuse middle-aged and elderly users and even commit fraud through "local love words", producing low-quality cartoon images to deceive minors to click and pay attention, using vulgar pictures as account avatars to drain and carry out emotional fraud.

The person in charge of Douyin said that the platform has strictly dealt with the above-mentioned six new types of illegal behavior. The specific disposal methods include, but are not limited to, the cancellation of its contribution and profit authority, the erasure of fans, the closure of accounts, and the withdrawal of MCN institutions to which illegal accounts belong. If the circumstances are serious, Douyin will report to the public security organs to cooperate with the investigation and crackdown.

Original text of Douyin announcement attached to CTOnews.com:

Douyin is committed to creating a safe and orderly platform for users, respecting and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of users. Recently, during its daily inspection, the platform found that some black ash production organizations tried to release low-quality, homogeneous and even illegal content in batches through a variety of new behaviors, such as "AIGC fraud", "stealing other people's live content and editing it", and "publishing training courses in the official name", in an attempt to make its account quickly increase fans, "maintenance account", and improperly profit. In this regard, the platform has been severely cracked down.

Behavior 1: use artificial intelligence technology (AIGC) to create virtual characters to imitate real people or publish vulgar and low-quality content in batches.

Some accounts use artificial intelligence technology to create a number of virtual characters, imitate real people without identification, confuse the public, and take this opportunity to publish the so-called "emotional chicken soup", "popular science knowledge", "financial management to get rich" and so on.

Some accounts use new technology to generate a large number of images of young women, impersonate real people without a logo, and post a large number of vulgar content under the name of "challenging the perfect figure".

There are group accounts that mass produce homogeneous content such as "beauty image" and "emotional interaction" through the new technology, induce users to pay attention, and try to divert it to a third-party platform to sell hermaphroditic drugs.

Behavior 2: steal other people's live content and quickly release simple clips.

Some group accounts use various tools to steal other people's live or short video content, which are simply edited by the account and released in large quantities.

There are group accounts to transport film and television works and release them in the form of short plays, and some of the content also uniformly uses the image of "beauty" as the cover to induce users to leave the platform, go to third-party software to pay to watch the complete works, and even cheat users.

Behavior 3: publish the content in the name of "official training" to attract attention.

Some group accounts call themselves "official co-creators of Douyin" and post videos to teach "skills" courses such as "how to steal other people's videos".

Some group accounts use vulgar edge images improperly to win attention, imparting secret books such as the so-called "fast rising fans" in the form of "paid lectures" to induce users to buy courses, so as to carry out fraud.

Behavior 4: "interact" with middle-aged and elderly users through "local love words" and other forms.

There are a large number of group accounts counterfeiting the image of social celebrities, publishing "local love words", "emotional songs", "life perception" and other contents, through comments, likes and other ways to deceive the attention of middle-aged and elderly users.

Some accounts continue to post false content such as "comment can be paid" and "turn on a switch to get the revenue share of the platform" to confuse middle-aged and elderly users and even cheat them.

Behavior 5: make low-quality cartoon images to induce minors to click.

There is a group account low-cost mass production of low-quality cartoon images, constantly flashing in the video, inducing minors to click to pay attention, trying to increase fans.

Behavior 6: use vulgar pictures as account avatars to attract attention.

Some accounts take pictures of women wearing vulgar edges as their profile pictures, and do not publish content every day, but frequently like other people's content in the comment area, induce attention, and implement emotional fraud and other acts.

For the above improper profit accounts, the platform has carried out strict handling. Specific disposal methods include but not limited to the cancellation of their contribution and profit authority, the erasing of account fans, the closure of accounts, the withdrawal of illegal accounts belonging to MCN institutions, and so on. If the circumstances are serious, the platform will report the clues to the public security organs and make every effort to cooperate in the investigation and attack.

The platform encourages users to create attentively and actively, and advocates the release of high-quality and original content. Douyin calls on users to work with the platform to maintain a healthy and orderly platform environment. If you find any content or behavior that violates the above norms on the platform, you can report it by sending details to email: feedback@douyin.com:
