A few days ago, 6 French influencers were forced by the DGCCRF to publicly admit on their social networks to having used hidden advertising. While some comply with the sanction without flinching, others do not hesitate to turn the situation into derision. Anthony Mateo, in particular, decided that his first tattoo would be a nod to the whole affair.
For several days, several influencers have pinned a message from the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Prevention (DGCCRF) on their social networks. All, more or less, have the same substance: they publicly announce that the influencer concerned has used hidden advertising and other misleading practices with their community.
Anthony Mateo is among the condemned. From the first days, this reality TV star stood out from her comrades by quickly setting up her Instagram account in private, to prevent casual visitors from falling on the famous message. But he obviously did not intend to stop and, taken from a certain teasing inspiration, published a somewhat special video on his TikTok account this Saturday, June 10.

He gets a #sponsored tattoo after being pinned by the DGCCRF
In the video, Anthony Mateo announces that he is about to get his first tattoo. He promises that the latter will be “a madness” since he wants “to mark the hit”. The madness in question? Just a hashtag. But not just any. While he recently admitted to doing partnerships in disguise, Anthony Mateo got a tattoo #sponsored.
“At least I won’t forget it anymore”, laughs the concerned. A joke that also makes his community laugh a lot, who hastened to congratulate him in the comments. “I really do this for the public”, assures the influencer. We can imagine that the joke will not be very appreciated within the repression of fraud.
