1. Shopee Speaks Out

The contents of the statement shared by Shopee are as follows:

"Sexual harassment is a topic that needs to be addressed with attention and seriousness, not to be made a joke or promotion material. Shopee listens to every input conveyed by users regarding promotional materials on social media gossip a while ago. Therefore, we sincerely apologize for the use of inappropriate materials for marketing purposes.

In response to this input, Shopee has requested the related gossip social media account to immediately remove the promotional materials and the materials have been taken down since yesterday afternoon.

We appreciate the criticism and input to make us better and more cautious in the future, so that similar cases will not be repeated."

2. Promotion of Sexual Harassment

Previously, there was a buzz on Twitter about content shared by the gossip account @lambe_turah. The content showed a woman experiencing sexual harassment, but it turns out the video was used as an advertisement.

"What went viral yesterday on dating apps, now there's evidence from the victim. So aggressive. Let's hope we never encounter something like this," wrote a post from the Lambe Turah account, which has now been deleted.
