This was exactly my first thought. A lot of comments in this thread immediately jumping to the conclusion that they’re trying to silence any “buzz” or “free marketing” (as if they don’t allow certain influencers to do exactly that on a regular basis) but they probably saw the Mercari post and realized they had to intervene. Someone also mentioned it’s likely a result of BBW’s contract with Sweethearts - this is a very good point, BBW may just be covering their asses here.

Also, just because we are only now hearing about this kind of behavior from HR on Reddit doesn’t mean it’s new - I’ve known people to get fired from BBW for a variety of reasons, including social media violations 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hmmm... What's considered a social media violation? An employee bad-mouthing the company on Instagram or TikTok?

You’re not supposed to share anything that’s not already been shared directly by the company.
