first, of course not. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the National Flag stipulates: "The national flag and its patterns shall not be used as trademarks, designs for which patents are granted or commercial advertisements, and shall not be used in inappropriate situations such as private funeral activities." There is no rule that it cannot be used as a WeChat avatar.

Second, if the following usage situations occur, it may be suspected of violating the law:

1. Pay attention to whether the WeChat avatar and WeChat account itself contain illegal and insulting contents. According to the relevant provisions of Article 19 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the National Flag, if the national flag pattern is pasted on obscene, pornographic or other insulting pictures and words, this behavior is already suspected of violating the law;

2. Some of Wechat business's head portraits are the products they sell. If the national flag is added to the product drawings, it will violate the regulations that the national flag cannot be used as a trademark or commercial advertisement, which is suspected of breaking the law. China's national flag law stipulates that the national flag and its patterns shall not be used as trademarks and advertisements, and shall not be used for private funeral activities.

the advertising law stipulates that advertisements shall not use or use in disguised form the national flag, national anthem, national emblem, military flag, military song and military emblem of the people's Republic of China. Printing the national flag on dishes is commercial. In addition, it is also illegal to print the national flag on the bag for sale and make the national flag into clothes.

3. When using the national flag as the head of WeChat, attention should be paid to maintaining the integrity of the national flag, and it is not allowed to be scratched or defiled.

Third, the personality characteristics of people who use the national flag as the WeChat avatar

First of all, one of the characteristics of human nature is risk aversion. In essence, most people are "risk averse". If you still need to pay 1 yuan after forwarding this passage, I believe many people will not forward it again, whether they believe it or not. Because the cost of behavior is low enough, there is no harm in giving it a try, which prompted everyone to try their ideas and eventually formed a herd effect.

On the other hand, there is a strong speculative mentality. This point seems to be very contradictory to the first point, but in fact, they are a kind of * * * relationship. Risk aversion is only the shell of this false news, and speculation is the engine of this screen-brushing behavior. China people's speculation is actually very strong, with low cost and enough temptation, to form a short-term outbreak!

secondly, advocating laziness. This one is human sexual behavior, and technology is actually constantly promoted because of human laziness. The failure of many marketing activities lies in the complexity, and finally it becomes the self-satisfied behavior of operators. I don't know that human beings have always tended to be simple and convenient. It is based on this that Xian Yi, old and young, has such an exaggerated amount of screen brushing.

Legal basis:

Article 19 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the National Flag

Do not discard the national flag at will. Damaged, defaced, faded or substandard national flags shall be recovered and disposed of in accordance with relevant state regulations. After the large-scale mass activities, the event organizers shall take back or properly dispose of the national flag used at the event site.

Article 2 stipulates: "The national flag and its pattern shall not be used as trademarks, designs for which patents have been granted or commercial advertisements, and shall not be used in inappropriate situations such as private funeral activities."
