Practice question
An overseas business conducts live-selling to customers located in the Philippines, with the Act's B2C scope and minimum contacts otherwise established. It claims the online-media-content exclusion automatically removes its sales activity from the implementing rules. Resolve.
- Every sale shown in a live video is necessarily excluded from the Act.
- The IRR expressly treats live-selling as advertising for these purposes, so the media-content exclusion is not an automatic exemption for the sales activity.
- A camera automatically converts a business sale into a C2C household transaction.
- Live-selling can be regulated only if the seller owns a Philippine studio.
- The IRR authorizes censorship of every unrelated online opinion.
