On March 11th, the Douyin Blackboard released a statement saying that recently, the popularity of intelligent entities such as OpenClaw on the platform has been steadily increasing, leading to a large number of users flocking to the "raising crayfish" community. Some illegal elements have taken advantage of this trend to carry out scams, malicious traffic redirection, and other illegal activities. These perpetrators use headlines such as "Raise crayfish for free" and "If you don't learn to raise crayfish, you will be eliminated by the times" to mass-produce fake tutorials and hands-on teaching materials, engaging in unauthorized marketing content to stir up anxiety and attract user attention. They maliciously take advantage of platform traffic and disrupt the normal content ecosystem, becoming a breeding ground for various illegal activities. The platform reminds users to increase their awareness of security precautions and crack down severely on illegal activities such as scams, traffic redirection, and implantation of malicious programs using hot topics.
