三星居然雇人给对手写差评给自己写好评。三星真是什么办法都敢用。觉得惩罚也太少
了吧。不知道三星在美国有没有也这么干。
Taipei, Oct 24, 2013 - Taiwan authorities on Thursday slapped a fine of Tw$
10 million (US$341,300) on Samsung after the South Korean tech giant was
found to have paid bloggers and students to attack local rival HTC online.
An investigation by Taiwan's Fair Trade Commission showed that Samsung,
through one of its Taiwan units called Opentide, had hired people to write
online articles attacking HTC and recommending Samsung cellphones.
The paid writers, and Samsung employees, concealed their status while
posting their evaluation reports about One, HTC's flagship cellphone. They
highlighted what they described as flaws in the HTC gadgets and played down
any negative reports about Samsung products.
“This is the first case of its kind in Taiwan that a company has concealed
its genuine status while attacking a rival,” commission spokesman Sun Lih-
chyun told AFP.
“The deceitful behaviour has negative impacts on market order and violated
the fair trade law.” Opentide was fined Tw$3 million and another smaller
local advertising agent contracted by Opentide was fined Tw$50,000,
according to the commission.
The three companies can appeal.
Samsung Taiwan told AFP it “deeply regrets” the commission's decision but
has not yet been formally notified of it. It would not say whether it would
appeal.
After the commission started probing the complaints in April, Samsung Taiwan
posted a statement on its Facebook page regretting “any inconvenience and
confusion from the Internet event”.
“Samsung Taiwan has halted all Internet marketing such as posting articles
on websites,” it said.
Samsung was fined Tw$300,000 by the commission earlier this year for a
misleading advertisement about the camera functions on its Galaxy Y Duos GT-
S6102, according to Taiwan's state Central News Agency.
According to research firm IDC, Samsung held a 30.3 percent share of the
global smartphone market in 2012, while Apple had 19.1 percent and HTC 4.6
percent.
