Practice question
A social platform allows merchants to advertise goods and contact buyers but does not oversee transaction consummation. It argues that this alone excuses it from providing any reporting mechanism or requiring seller contact information in offers. Assume the transactions fall within RA 11967. Which assessment is best?
- It has no duties because it is not the contracting seller
- Its lack of oversight converts every seller into its employee
- Only platforms handling delivery have statutory duties
- It must guarantee every advertised item’s commercial success
- Section 22 imposes specified duties even on platforms without such oversight
