中新网北京6月11日电 为防范化解“6·18”期间网络集中促销活动可能引发的“内卷式”竞争风险,维护消费者合法权益和公平有序的网络交易市场秩序,2026年6月11日,北京市市场监督管理局约谈淘宝(天猫)、京东、拼多多、抖音、小红书5家电商平台,通报平台“内卷式”竞争综合整治发现的第二批典型问题,主要包括促销活动虚假宣传、促销规则制定与公示不规范、商品经营者信息未公示等问题,并提出整改要求。

淘宝(天猫)平台:2026年5月起,平台在媒体和应用程序端广泛宣传“6·18百亿补贴”活动,但监管部门向平台了解,百亿补贴并非“6·18”期间平台投入百亿资金补贴消费者,实际是一项长期的营销活动,平台多次拒绝提供本次“6·18”活动期间投入的实际补贴金额及平台、商家间的出资比例。平台未在显著位置公示“百亿补贴”相关活动规则,“百亿补贴”频道内部分商品未公示实际销售者资质信息。

拼多多平台:平台推出“百亿补贴”活动,但未在规则中明确投入的实际补贴金额及平台、商家间的出资比例,无法提供相关证明材料。在促销规则中,“对于与商品有关的任何纠纷,拼多多作为平台方,可在法定范围内予以必要协助,但不因此承担商品有关的责任”,单方面免除了平台的法定责任。

京东平台:平台推出“百亿补贴”“百亿农补”活动,但在规则中未公示促销期限,未明确投入的实际补贴金额及平台、商家间的出资比例,且无法提供证明材料。“百亿超市”未公示活动规则。

抖音平台:推出“6·18好物节”及“百亿消费券”等活动,但未向消费者公示促销规则;在活动招商规则中规定,如平台对活动规则进行调整会直接通知商家,未设置公开征求意见环节。

小红书平台:“积分抽好礼”有奖销售活动信息公示不完整,仅标注奖品总量,对中奖概率、弃奖规则等核心信息均未明确公示。在活动规则中规定,平台可以对活动规则进行变动和调整,消费者“继续参与视为同意”,排除消费者协商的权利。

中国社科院大学互联网法治研究中心主任刘晓春指出:平台竞相开展“百亿补贴”,可能引发“内卷式”竞争风险,不利于行业健康发展。特别是非理性的大额补贴行为,不但扭曲市场价格机制,甚至个别平台规定补贴由商家全部承担,商家陷入不降价就没流量、降价就亏损的两难困境,利润空间被严重挤压,商家生存困难,阻碍行业创新和升级。多个平台在规则中单方免除在非不可抗力情形下的平台责任,加重了消费者风险。

北京市市场监督管理局强调:一是各平台要深刻认识“内卷式”竞争的危害,将卷补贴、卷价格转向比创新、比服务,促进平台与平台内经营者、劳动者共赢发展。二是平台要立即组织全面自查,按照相关规定,对“6·18”促销规则进行系统梳理与审核,对不合规问题迅速整改。三是北京市市场监督管理局将持续运用平台“内卷式”竞争综合整治工作机制,开展动态监测,及时反应,维护市场正常秩序。(完)
