The first case of e-commerce platform suing order brushing platform was executed and organized to make a credit speculation and award of more than 200,000 yuan

　　On November 16, the reporter learned that the "first case of e-commerce prosecution of order brushing platforms" was the case of Alibaba suing Hangzhou Jianshi Network Technology Co., Ltd. in the People's Court of Xihu District, Hangzhou. The court held that Jianshi Company's organization of credit speculation violated the principles of fairness, honesty and trustworthiness and business ethics, seriously infringed on the interests of consumers and disrupted the business order of e-commerce platforms. The first instance judgment was made by Jianshi Company to compensate Alibaba for economic losses of 202,000 yuan. The judgment has now taken effect.

　　Alibaba said that the judgment in the first case is a warning to the platform for browsing orders and selling credits. All the benefits obtained by organizing credit speculators will be used to compensate. Only when the credit speculation is not profitable can the legitimate rights and interests of law-abiding merchants and consumers be safeguarded, and the online shopping platform is in a bright world. This is a case of far-reaching significance for the healthy and healthy development of e-commerce.

　　The defendant expressed regret in court in the first instance

　　Hangzhou Jianshi Company established Shatu.com in 2014, and its main business is to engage in online order brushing and credit speculation. Merchants publish order brushing tasks on this platform, and the "swipe" accepts orders and provides services. During this process, 20% of the fees paid by the merchant to the "swipe" will be earned by Shatu.com as a commission. In addition, merchants who have long-term demand for order brushing can "join the club", and there are two options: 268 yuan/month and 1,980 yuan/year. The company's main source of profit has always been commissions and membership fees.

　　In early December 2016, Alibaba Group formally submitted an indictment to the court, suing Shatui.com for suspected serious endangering the market competition order and claiming RMB 2.16 million. This case also became "the first case of a lawsuit filed by e-commerce platform for browsing orders in the country."

　　On February 15, 2017, the first trial of the case began. Yang, the representative of Jianshi Company, also the organizer of the order brushing gang, expressed his regret in court, saying that if he had realized that the organization's order brushing was illegal, he would not have participated.

　　Administrative penalties for illegal profits of 360,000 are difficult to deter

　　On April 5, 2016, with the report and assistance of Alibaba Platform Governance Department, the Hangzhou Market Supervision Administration investigated and dealt with Shatui.com in accordance with the law, and law enforcement personnel confiscated relevant equipment, account books and financial documents related to the flow of enterprises on the spot. During the on-site investigation and handling process, law enforcement officers found that the platform used QQ and other chat tools to organize brushers and widely taught order brushing skills.

　　While cooperating with offline law enforcement, Alibaba has also imposed severe penalties on platform merchants involved in the case, including zeroing in transaction volume and even permanently closing stores. However, according to the provisions of the "Internet Management Transaction Measures", the order-brushing gang headed by Yang did not pay a heavy price and was only fined more than 100,000 yuan.

　　Ye Zhifei, brand protection director of Alibaba Platform Governance Department, said that the current administrative penalties are difficult to deter order brushing organizers. The administrative penalty of up to 200,000 yuan is too low compared to the profits and losses caused. "The fined order brushing platform can completely avoid the limelight and organize order brushing."

　　More than 200,000 yuan in compensation Alibaba supports the new law to severely punish order brushing

　　The court held in the first instance that the order brushing organized by the defendant Jianshi Company obviously violated the principles of fairness, honesty and trustworthiness and recognized business ethics, and affected the credit evaluation system of the two major platforms of Taobao and Tmall, thus undermining the fair, transparent and honest online shopping environment created by the plaintiff and damaging the interests of the plaintiff. In accordance with the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China, the court sentenced the defendant to compensate the plaintiff for economic losses of 202,000 yuan in the first instance, but the defendant did not appeal.

　　On November 4, the 30th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress voted to pass the newly revised "Anti-Unfair Competition Law" and other illegal operators will be severely punished, marking that the country has formed a legal governance system to control order brushing and credit speculation. Subsequently, Alibaba Group published a public article to like the new law.

　　"Ali has always adhered to a zero-tolerance attitude towards order brushing and credit speculation, and has been working with administrative supervision departments, judicial organs, industry associations, social organizations, etc. to work together to remove this 'cancer'." A relevant person in charge of Alibaba's platform governance department said. (Source: Sina Technology)
