The influencer is the one who &#8221; <em>influences the opinion, the consumption by his audience on social networks<\/em> &#8221; (dictionary <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionnaire.lerobert.com\/definition\/influenceur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Le Robert<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This term is the result of a phenomenon that goes back to the end of the 1990s \/ beginning of the 2000s in France, when access to the Internet became more democratic and the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinetbouchara.com\/en\/lexicon\/social-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social networks<\/a> have appeared (<span>one of the first being the blog, a website on which the blogger publishes content that can be commented on by users).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These platforms have grown and multiplied considerably since then: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This has exponentially facilitated the creation and publication of new content that is immediately and freely accessible to a very large audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The main attraction of this new content lies in the fact that the author expresses his or her personal opinion, without following a specific editorial line, in terms that are simple and accessible to all audiences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Thus, Internet users identify more easily with the author of the content, who becomes a true source of information and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">From now on, all &#8220;content creators&#8221; who have a certain audience are called &#8221; <em>influencers<\/em> &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The most famous influencers manage to federate audiences of several million subscribers <span>and thus play a major role in the promotion and highlighting of companies<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">They have therefore naturally become real showcases for the brands, so much so that partnerships <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinetbouchara.com\/en\/lexicon\/cobranding-and-collaboration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collaborations <\/a>and even muse contracts are regularly concluded between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinetbouchara.com\/en\/lexicon\/brand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brands <\/a>and influencers <span>solicited to promote various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinetbouchara.com\/en\/lexicon\/products-and-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">product(s) and\/or service(s <\/a>) according to the targeted community (beauty products, fashion accessories, restaurants, clothing lines etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These various contracts are generally strictly regulated and contain various provisions to ensure respect for the brand&#8217;s image, including<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Guidelines as to the speeches that will be held by the influencer;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Indications as to which products should be promoted by the influencer <span>to his community of subscribers (called &#8221; <em>followers&#8221;)<\/em> <\/span> and under what conditions <span>(via publications and\/or videos, at what frequency, etc.);<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Prohibition of negative brand statements;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">A ban on working for competing brands for a specified period of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That said, while brands most often benefit from the power of influencers, they also regularly suffer from that same power in cases where they are the subject of negative comments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is particularly the case for the phenomenon known as the &#8221; <em>bad buzz<\/em> &#8220;, i.e. a negative comment that is very quickly and widely relayed on the Internet, leading to a real &#8220;bad buzz&#8221; phenomenon. uncontrollable negative &#8220;<em>word of mouth<\/em> &#8220;, or worse, of movements of &#8221; <em>boycotts<\/em> &#8220;, i.e. messages calling on consumers to avoid the products completely product(s) and\/or service(s) of a brand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span>This negative communication relayed via the media is likely to cause the consumer to lose confidence in the brand, and can have disastrous consequences on the life of a company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In cases where the brand is the victim of comments or publications that exceed the freedom of expression and that could engage the responsibility of the influencer under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinetbouchara.com\/en\/lexicon\/denigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">denigration<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinetbouchara.com\/en\/lexicon\/defamation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">defamation<\/a>, or even of the In order to protect against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinetbouchara.com\/en\/lexicon\/counterfeit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">counterfeiting<\/a>, there are several legal tools available to try to obtain the removal of the litigious content and to obtain compensation for the damage caused.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">Point figures<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to a study conducted in October 2021 by REECH, an agency specialized in influence marketing, 86% of the brands surveyed recognize that &#8221;
