With the rapid development of the Internet, "self-media" Internet celebrities have become a profession for many people to survive, earning traffic and income by virtue of a large number of fans on the Internet. However, with the increasing improvement of Internet management, the Internet is no longer a place outside the law, and Internet celebrities must take responsibility for their own speech, otherwise they will pay the price of impulse.

The Internet is not a place outside the law, and the second-instance verdict of Shu Yao's defamation of the brand case sounded the alarm for more Internet celebrities

Recently, the well-known beauty Internet celebrity blogger "Yes Shu Yao" has caused a lot of public opinion on the Internet, because after the second-instance judgment of the commercial dispute with the well-known brand Laifen Company, he released some video content that caused heated discussions between fans and netizens, setting off a lot of public opinion turmoil.

First of all, let's review what happened, in July 2022, when "Shi Shu Yaoya" cooperated with Laifen, there was a business dispute, and the blogger posted a complaining video on multiple video platforms, including some abusive and slanderous remarks that had a negative impact on Laifen's brand image. For this reason, Laifen decided to resort to law to seek a solution, and sued "Yes Shu Yaoya" in court, and the court has pronounced a verdict on the case after the first and second instance.

After the trial, the court ruled that "Yes Shu Yaoya", which has a large number of followers and has a certain degree of influence on multiple video platforms, published insulting remarks against Laifen in July 2022, which had a negative impact on the company's sales and sales and image. The court ruled that "Yes Shu Yaoya" needed to publicly apologize to Laifen on the video platform, and at the same time needed to pay 330,000 yuan in compensation. As for the accusation against Laifen and its request for compensation, the court held that there was insufficient factual support and rejected the appeal request, and the parties did not continue to appeal.

The matter has come to an end here, and "It's Shu Yao" also paid compensation in accordance with the court judgment, and it stands to reason that the two sides won't have anything to do with it anymore, but "It's Shu Yao" released a video again to stir up the heat of this matter again. In the video, "Yes Shu Yaoya" admitted that he had verbal excesses, and said in the second response video that although "defamation" was judged in the first instance, the word "defamation" was removed from the final judgment of the second instance, so it proved that he was not defamatory.

However, the fact that the second-instance trial did not copy every word of the first-instance judgment as a review of the legality of the first-instance judgment and supervised the court's adjudication work did not negate the first-instance court's determination that the blogger had defamatory words and deeds.

As a well-known Internet celebrity V, "Yes Shu Yao" has a huge influence on the Internet, and every word and deed may affect fans, and he should be strictly restrained in his words and deeds. Now that the court has ruled that both parties agree on the result, "Yes Shu Yao" should strictly abide by the court's judgment and avoid unnecessary trouble caused by speech again, which is not only responsible for himself and fans, but also for the basic respect for the law, and clearly understands that the Internet is not a place outside the law.
