Regarding the continued malicious defamation behavior on the Internet, the legal department of Li Auto has recently taken strict legal measures. Li Auto publicly stated that the company has formally reported to the public security authorities regarding a Jiangxi media company that used AI tools to mass-produce false content. The relevant law enforcement agencies have legally investigated and handled the involved institution, which has also publicly apologized to Li Auto for its illegal actions.
Distinguishing Supervision from Malicious Rumors
Li Auto clearly stated in its announcement that in recent years, malicious defamation and rumors targeting its products, brand, and users have continuously occurred. These lawbreakers mainly fabricate and spread false information about Li Auto owners in bulk, systematically stigmatizing the user group, thereby causing serious damage to the company's brand reputation. Li Auto emphasized that the company will strictly distinguish between objective criticism and supervision, and malicious rumors. The former will be humbly listened to, while the latter will be firmly countered.
Protecting Rights by Legal Means
With the popularity of generative AI technology, offenders have begun to use AI tools as a means to spread false information in bulk, presenting new challenges for companies in protecting their rights. Li Auto stated that in the face of this new form of rumor-mongering, the company will not hesitate to use legal weapons to protect its own rights. Li Auto called on rumor-mongers that their actions do not only harm the reputation of a single company but also the common interests of society, and such behavior should be jointly resisted by society.
