With the burgeoning of the internet economy, the behavior of "professional claiming" has emerged. Those engaging in "professional claiming" often aim for unlawful possession. They exploit non-functional or non-substantial defects in product packaging, labeling, or advertising slogans, seeking profits through threats, intimidation, or coercion. Many consumers praise these behaviors, viewing them as acts of "justice on behalf of Heaven." However, the act of purchasing defective products in bulk for compensation not only profanes the law but also disrupts the regular consumer market to a certain extent. Distinguishing whether such behavior is an exercise of rights or an act of extortion remains a challenge in social governance today. Simultaneously, exploring the legalization of "professional claiming" behavior is a future challenge we must face.
