Recruiting someone to accompany elementary school girls for 5 days! Xiaojishanggong’s comment saying “Let me say first: this is not allowed” was harshly criticized
Recently, a netizen posted a screenshot on Threads. It showed a man from Changhua County posting a side-job task on “Xiaojishanggong,” offering NT$8,500 for one assignment in hopes of recruiting someone to accompany three elementary school girls in Changhua City for five days. Unexpectedly, the post drew a comment from the Xiaojishanggong editor: “Everyone, calm down! Let me say first: this is not allowed!” In response, podcaster Lomos directly screenshotted the editor’s reply and posted a scathing criticism: “What exactly are you saying is not allowed? Is this something an adult should be doing? Isn’t this disgusting?”

The few short words immediately led people to associate the comment with implications of sexual exploitation of minors, prompting large numbers of netizens to angrily criticize the editor’s thoughtless statement: “What the heck? Something like this can be posted? The editor even replied as if it were a joke—what terrible crisis PR,” “I thought it was some disgusting creep, but it turned out to be the editor too. This is outrageous,” “Aside from the comment, the most important thing is to strictly review and screen the posting of problematic tasks like this,” “Wasn’t the original meaning of the job opening to act as a babysitter? The male netizen and the editor are the ones thinking perversely. They’re both disgusting!”
After realizing that the comment had sparked outrage, the Xiaojishanggong editor quietly deleted the controversial comment and explained that its intended meaning was to remind the public that “any inappropriate thoughts involving minors are not allowed,” rather than “making jokes about minors.” The editor said the controversial comment had caused misunderstanding because it was not expressed fully, and that more attention would be paid to the way comments are written in the future.

However, netizens did not accept this apology. The editor later issued a second apology, saying that they were now deeply reflecting and emphasizing that no issue involving minors could tolerate the slightest carelessness, and that a brand should have a higher level of moral sensitivity and social responsibility: “This mistake is a responsibility we cannot shirk, and it is also something we must face seriously and review deeply.” The editor said the brand had immediately conducted a comprehensive review of its social-media response procedures, strengthened training on sensitive issues, and established stricter review mechanisms to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Large numbers of netizens were dissatisfied that Xiaojishanggong apologized only in the comments instead of issuing a separate formal apology statement. They also questioned the platform’s standards for reviewing the content of jobs posted by users: “You’re not going to issue a formal apology post? Do you take the people who use your platform for idiots?” “You should use your official account to issue a formal apology instead of sneakily apologizing in the comments,” “So my interpretation is that any filthy criminal job can be posted on Xiaojishanggong, right? Do you even review the posted job content?” “How could this kind of job content be successfully published on your platform? I want to know what your review standards are.”
