It’s time to hold influencers accountable for losses

It’s time to hold influencers accountable for losses


Do they really not think about how much they are making their audience lose?




Since the million-dollar gambling scheme involving influencers was discovered, a major ethical question has emerged in the market. After all, are these Internet personalities responsible for everything they publish, especially if it involves incalculable losses? This Monday (29), a video went viral in which Mhanu, who has more than 300 thousand followers, is harassed and accused by fans who lost money in the “little tiger game”.

Inside the car, which was taken away after the threats, the influencer claims that she does not own the platform and that she “just promotes it”, in addition to using the same phrase as anyone who dedicates themselves to this niche: “play responsibly”. Now, what kind of responsibility is that, knowing that there is a high probability of losing money and harming the people who dedicate their time to it?

The time is coming when influencers will be held accountable for decisions that directly affect the lives of their audiences. What happened to Mhanu seems to be the tip of an iceberg that is about to melt and engulf everyone. With so many people losing their most precious possessions, if there is no conscience, there will at least be accountability. And the key to even more serious moments seems about to be turned.
