    About the channel

    Social Media has become one of the most exploited channels for brand abuse - a global commerce layer where bad actors leverage trust, reach, and targeting to sell counterfeits, impersonate brands, and run fraudulent promotions at scale. Transactions increasingly happen natively within these platforms through shoppable posts, and closed groups. Globally, platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and X are recurring hotspots, while in China WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and Weibo combine social content with embedded commerce - a global commerce layer where bad actors leverage trust, reach, and targeting to sell counterfeits, impersonate brands, and run fraudulent promotions at scale.
