Through videos of cursing and invading other people's privacy, many YouTubers and TikTokers have made a lot of money. Notably, when they have a little bit of fame, they also take advantage of it to advertise fake products and sell counterfeit goods.

At the same time, some people flaunt their rich lives, thereby luring and luring victims into financial investment "traps" and then stealing all their money. Some people even use the internet to facilitate drug trafficking, prostitution...

"YouTube posts all kinds of disturbing things, all over social networks," reader chuc****@gmail.com expressed to Tuoi Tre Online.

Meanwhile, reader Le Lanh said that many YouTubers take advantage of drama to make money regardless. "They fabricate, slander, and insult the honor and dignity of others but have not been punished yet."

Strong penalties to prevent YouTubers and TikTokers from scamming

Reader ngoc****@gmail.com acknowledged that many nonsense contents are still being used to attract likes on social networks, affecting culture. Therefore, it needs to be seriously rectified. "It has brought consequences to so many people. In addition, the illusion of YouTubers and TikTokers themselves who think they are the ones who can dominate. We should seriously deal with this problem," reader Khanh Truong emphasized.

Hoai Giang account said that in addition to advertising fake goods, these people also called for charity, which made society suspicious. Not to mention there was a case where an artist passed away, they followed him from the funeral until the burial, to post reckless information, not thinking about the pain of the bereaved family.

Reader Huu Tho believes that not only TikTokers, the law must also properly handle famous people who use all kinds of tricks to make money regardless. "False advertising, making money on other people's suffering. Criminal proceedings must be taken immediately," commented account cuon****@gmail.com.
