Migu music was questioned to induce children's consumption, requiring children to scan the code of their parents' phones to activate VIP.
CTOnews.com, December 1 (Xinhua)-- recently, some netizens reported that Migu music is suspected of inducing children to scan their parents' mobile phones for consumption.
A video posted by netizens shows a parent holding a child's smartwatch, opening the App of Migu Music and choosing a song to play. The watch interface shows, "Open the library of big songs for members", accompanied by a voice prompt, "Children, please use Mom and Dad's mobile phone, scan the code to turn on the watch ring tone VIP."
According to the Shandong Business Daily, the customer service of Migu Music responded that it would first activate vip before it can activate CRBT and other related functions, and the details will be verified. In addition, the staff of the watch production company said that although the software on the watch was installed at the factory, it belongs to third-party software, and you can uninstall App without scanning the code if you don't need it, and denied that there was any inducement for children to spend.
Earlier, nearly half of consumers were dissatisfied with the quality of children's smartwatches, according to a survey on the consumption of children's smartwatches released by the Jiangsu Consumer Rights Protection Commission. In addition, this kind of goods are also suspected of false publicity, difficulties in after-sales maintenance, illegal deductions to induce children's consumption, bloody violence in built-in games, unsuitable for children in some cartoons, and so on.
CTOnews.com learned that according to a report in Southern Weekly in 2021, Migu employees revealed that Migu videos were dragged down by huge copyright fees and were in a state of huge losses. In China Mobile's 2021 results, Migu's "achievement" was only mentioned: China Mobile's brand was exposed 71.8 billion times during the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. In 2021, Migu Music had only 21.17 million monthly active users, while NetEase Yun Music reached 182.6 million MAU in the same period.
