Cheap and illegal: mainlanders post social media adverts for services in Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, mainlanders have been posting social media adverts for various services, which has raised concerns about the legality and affordability of these offerings. These services range from household help to other tasks, and are being advertised on social media platforms, potentially bypassing local regulations and laws.

This trend matters for social commerce as it highlights the issue of unregulated services being advertised on social media, potentially undermining local businesses and economies. It also raises questions about the role of social media platforms in facilitating such activities and the need for greater oversight and regulation to ensure fair competition and consumer protection.
