Be careful if you see some influencer posts about HUAWEI around the iPhone launch, This campaign brief tells creators to not label posts as "paid or sponsored." Not only is this is against FTC guidelines, it is disrespectful to the viewers who deserve complete transparency. pic.twitter.com/qP16E1gQqi

Update to this story, HUAWEI has issued a statement. “We want to unequivocally clarify that HUAWEI has neither issued nor authorized any third party to conduct this outreach. We are looking into the possible source of the brief content in question.” https://t.co/pRuVTndkdQ
