It is
impossible to imagine contemporary society without social media. Initially
conceived as networks for connecting friends and acquaintances, their
immense popularity has led to their increasing use for commercial
purposes.
The
position of influencers on social media is therefore a recent phenomenon
and poses some legal questions. Which leaves both influencers and
lawyers and magistrates in need of clarity.
On 1
December 2023 during our conference on this topic, the researchers of the department
Metajuridica, Private and Corporate Law of the Faculty of Law and
Criminology of Ghent University therefore shared their knowledge to address,
each from their own expertise, these various legal questions associated with
the use of influencers for advertising via social media. As a matter of
fact, influencers have accumulated a considerable follower base and thus have a
significant impact on the decision-making of those followers. This is why they
are increasingly being used as part of corporate marketing strategies.
These
insights and knowledge will be collected in the book Social Media Influencers and the #Law
this Spring.
