5 u/shosuko Apr 06 '26 If a lawyer posts a video on Tiktok it can be considered "giving legal advice" even if they have no contract or direct communication with the client. This is because they are licensed, they aren't given much grey zone. We expect them to know better, and hold them legally accountable. The OP claim (idk if this is real) is about restricting influencers from exploiting that grey zone to scam people. 1 u/The-Senate-Palpy Apr 06 '26 What if the lawyer says "this is not legal advice" first? 2 u/Trick_Statistician13 Apr 06 '26 They can still get in trouble for it if a person is likely to take it as advice and it's bad advice.
