Counterfeits: how the fight is organized on the Internet thanks to artificial intelligence

The small stalls fraudulently set up in the markets, the sheets stretched out on the ground near the Trocadéro in Paris, or the packets of Marlboros stretched out at the exit of the metro remain the usual image that we have of street vending.

Shisha tobacco, cigarettes, clothing, leather goods… everything can be bought on social networks, where offers abound. And the pandemic has further accentuated this trend.
