On the second-hand trading platform, you can not only buy idle items, but also buy companion services.
"Sell my time, simple accompaniment, shopping, watching movies, eating hot pot..." On April 6, Jimu News reporters found in the idle fish search that similar product information is not in the minority, whether it is online voice video chat, playing games, or offline shopping, watching movies, as long as you pay to find a companion on the idle fish.
However, some accompaniment is not simply accompaniment, which hides "special services". Just last month, some media exposed that idle fish was hiding erotic services, and at that time, the platform side removed relevant links. Less than a month later, the reporter searched and found that such a "service" can still be easily found.
"Companionship Service" on second-hand platforms
"On Valentine's Day, spend 3 yuan on idle fish to order a 'widow' service for friends, and after placing an order, someone will add friends to WeChat and send a variety of frogs and widows emojis." Netizen Doudou shared this strange shopping experience on social platforms.
There are more and more similar services.
Chen Qian, a college student in Wuhan, started a small business in idle fish last year. "When I want to find an opportunity to earn some pocket money when I am idle, I hung up the related goods of 'accompaniment chat, help enlightenment' on the idle fish, half an hour 5 yuan, there will be netizens in a bad mood to place orders, and tell me about their hearts." Chen Qian told the Jimu News reporter, and later felt that the chat was too time-consuming and laborious, so he changed to playing games and helping to make choices, "Now many people have 'choice difficulty', I put on the shelves a 'house of everything', when encountering difficult things to choose, you can shoot this link, I came to help make a choice, two dollars a time, four or five orders a month." ”
"Help service" on idle fish
Jimu News reporters found in the idle fish search that a large number of "help services" are on sale, helping to shoot, help to buy, help to choose, etc.; there are also "accompaniment services", accompanied by chat, accompanied by eating, accompanying shopping, accompanying movies, accompanying games.
"Companion service" on idle fish
In a "offline accompaniment" product link, the reporter saw that 1 hour of play with the payment of 100 yuan, the seller marked "pure green serious play, do not support waist hugs and other unhealthy content, you can hold hands."
What is pure green play? "Just don't get involved in pornography." Chen Qian revealed that some "accompaniment chat" and "accompaniment" and other products are actually providing erotic services, "I have been harassed by buyers who came to consult before, mistakenly thinking that I provide similar services, and then I marked keywords such as 'pure green' and 'no color', because it was too obvious to mark the review." ”
Hidden "special" products and transactions
Still, on Idle Fish, there are sellers who peddle "special" products and services privately.
On April 6, Jimu News reporters searched for keywords such as "liao" and "escort pills", and many links to headshots and product photos as pictures of beautiful women appeared on the page.
The seller's "stranded princess" wrote: "I can accompany you to play games, accompany you to study, accompany those ... Wait, especially babies who can't sleep at night. The reporter asked if he could chat by voice, and his reply was "4.99 (yuan) once, the voice limit is 20 minutes, the text is limited to 30 minutes, the text can be colored, the voice is not colored", and let the WeChat chat in detail.

Among other merchants that provide "companionship services" randomly asked by reporters, there are also a few that "there is no scale limit on chat content" and provide QQ or WeChat signals to change platform private chats.
The product introduction of the "new beige sweater" released by the seller "Pistachio me" reads: "My girl really shoots and chats, but the text, the content is casual." The reporter asked whether to sell sweaters or provide chat services, which said that QQ private chat could be added. On QQ, "Pistachio me" sent a price list: voice chat 30 yuan 10 minutes, video chat 100 yuan 10-15 minutes, large-scale photos 40 yuan a set, large-scale video 40 yuan a piece.

The price list sent by the other party after the reporter added QQ
Under the recommendation of the system, the reporter clicked on a product link, the system shows that it was published in Wuhan, the picture is a woman wearing a pleated skirt and black silk, and the product profile is "the woman who sells the breath". The reporter asked the seller what goods he was selling, and the other party asked Him to chat in detail, suggesting that he was selling "original intimate clothing". On the style pictures provided by the seller, the reporter saw that there were bras, hip skirts, panties, socks and other intimate clothing, and videos could also be recorded.
Sellers obscurely sell "original clothes"
According to the above sellers, the original underwear can go idle fish transactions, others can only be traded through QQ red envelopes, WeChat, Alipay; voice chat 50 yuan 10 minutes, 100 yuan 25 minutes, the content is not limited; faceless video 65 yuan a, the duration of about 25 minutes; customized video 15 yuan 1 minute, 8 minutes from the beginning, the buyer can specify how to shoot.

Subsequently, the reporter spent 65 yuan to buy a video, and the other party immediately sent a 24-minute video of women naked and indecent with another QQ number, saying that it was herself.
Customer service said that there will be a loophole in system monitoring
Previously, the media exposed the "original taste transaction" on idle fish, saying that some merchants did original underwear trading. In August 2019, Idle Fish also issued the "Idle Fish Community Information Release Specification", which mentioned that it is forbidden to publish erotic, vulgar, aphrodisiac products and other categories, including but not limited to solicitation services, obscene erotics, original underwear, etc.
In addition, last month, a media secret visit found that there are not only erotic transactions such as erotic accompaniment chats and original underwear on idle fish, but even on-site erotic services under the line.
Why is erotic trading repeatedly banned on idle fish, and how do these illegal goods bypass platform supervision and smoothly go on the shelves?
On the afternoon of the 7th, Jimu News reporter learned from the idle fish customer service that the product release process of the idle fish platform is first on the shelves and then reviewed, "the platform will review the goods released by the user after they are on the shelves, and some illegal goods may have just been listed, and the system has not yet been reviewed."
Customer service said that any pornography-related information is not allowed to appear on the platform, users can report illegal information, the system will also monitor, after the discovery will be the publisher will be banned.
"For the listing of the goods system is randomly reviewed, monitoring there will be loopholes, there will be a few flukes that have not been banned, this needs to be reported by the user many times, and after success, it will be suspended." If the system does not detect and no one reports it, it will not be removed and banned. The customer service said that consumers trade outside the platform, and the platform cannot be held responsible.
Should the platform be held responsible for the above-mentioned illegal transactions?
Chen Liang, a lawyer at Hubei Haolu Law Firm, believes that for sellers, spreading obscene eroticism is not only illegal, but also may be suspected of organizing prostitution and spreading obscene materials. For example, publishing some indecent photos, whether for profit or not, constitutes the dissemination of obscene materials; if the seller provides offline erotic services, behind the scenes may also involve a team to organize prostitution, then suspected of organizing prostitution, at least will also be punished by public security.
For the platform, there is an obligation to audit. If the appearance of the commodity link can be judged to have a suspicion of violating the law and committing a crime, the platform should take the initiative to supervise, disconnect the link in time, and stop taking orders; if the appearance is not very clear, after the user complains, the platform passively supervises and timely handles illegal information. "Technical obstacles are not the conditions for the platform to constitute exemption from liability, even if the platform cannot do active supervision, it should do a good job of supervision after passive notification, if it cannot be done, it is suspected of constituting a joint crime."
