February 9, 2025

Action defending a social network in a lawsuit filed by a digital influencer, a content creator with a large number of followers on a short video platform, who claims the existence of fake profiles on a competing social network. These profiles were allegedly using his name, image and videos without authorization, violating his copyright and personality rights. Despite repeated complaints, the platform allegedly failed to take measures to remove the fraudulent profiles. In light of this, the influencer filed a police report and filed a lawsuit to resolve the issue, requesting an obligation to act and damages.
