If this kind of deception only affects the family relationship, it will be more difficult to resolve it through legal means for the time being. Zhu Lixia said, "Because there is still a lack of relevant charges as a basis for prosecuting such violations."

If financial interests are involved, the crime of fraud can be used as the basis for the victim to pursue the legal responsibility of the relevant video producer.
