kradeelavone of the funny things about working in my industry is:
* for context, it's highly regulated + the consumers are sue-trigger-happy, so the more mature corporations tend to have beefier legal departments.
* these days, consumers post videos/images of themselves showing off [$product]. this is on average a good thing, imo, if they're genuinely happy with the product/company in an uncoerced way. while there are a lot of paid influencers, there's also a lot of times this happens organically due to [$industry] and the corporations are usually happy to repost those. organic promotion for us, free views for them, win/win for #capitalism baybee.
EXCEPT
* the hilariously often amount of times the consumers don't use [$product] in the extremely narrowly-defined-way-product-integrity/legal likes.
so as soon as the social media team reposts something even mildly off script we joke we can hear legal wailing and gnashing their teeth from over here, for something as mild as [consumer puts product on a non-approved surface for literally .5 of a second] XD
