The meeting addressed the first batch of problems discovered since the comprehensive rectification campaign against "involutionary" competition among platforms and outlined rectification requirements. The problems reported focused on four main areas: some platforms, without the merchants consent, modified merchants backend settings to arbitrarily register them for promotional activities; they monitored prices through technical means, requiring merchants to sell at the lowest price across the entire network, depriving merchants of their pricing autonomy; some platforms abused their dominant position to formulate unreasonable rules, increasing the operational burden on merchants through fines, traffic restrictions, and other penalties; they induced consumers to purchase goods through false advertising, infringing on consumers legitimate rights and interests; and their compliance management organizations were ineffective, personnel responsibilities were unclear, and compliance mechanisms failed to play a practical role.
