Recently, a Douyin account called "Western Selection" caused heated discussions among netizens because the anchor was similar to Dong Yuhui, the anchor of Eastern Selection. According to reports, the account had nearly one million viewers during its first live broadcast. However, on the morning of December 18, the account nickname and avatar were initialized, and all original contents were cleared. In response to this move, Western Selection stated that the account was not blocked, but was downloaded on its own, and emphasized that it did not believe that there was any infringement.
However, netizens have different views on this. Some people think that Western Screening is imitating Dong Yuhui and seeking commercial interests through his popularity and influence. Others defend it and say that this is just freedom of expression. As a public figure, Dong Yuhui should have certain obligations of tolerance. . The Western selection team stated that it was a crime to say that people with similar faces were guilty, and that they had only temporarily found Dong Yuhui's lookalike, and currently have no plans to broadcast live.
Although Western Selection insisted that it was not guilty, the account was banned by the Douyin platform because of counterfeiting and improper popularity. The platform believed that the behavior of the account involved violated its regulations, and in order to maintain the order of the platform, it banned the account.
This incident has aroused social attention on issues such as intellectual property rights, imitation and infringement, and the heated discussion has not yet subsided.
