Recently, a rumor incident on the Internet has aroused widespread attention. A woman surnamed Yu in Shanghai was treated in a car accident in the **Ali area, but some "self**" accounts fabricated a series of plots and rumors in order to rub traffic and attract attention, and spread false information about the identity of the woman surnamed Yu. These rumors include "the little aunt is the xx director Yu xx", "the little aunt is the secretary of the xx district discipline inspection committee Yu xx", "the little aunt is the xx director Tao xx", "the party is the xx hospital ** Yu xx" and so on. After verification, this information was confirmed to be a rumor.
In response to these rumor-mongering behaviors, the Cyberspace Administration of Shanghai has taken action and cooperated with relevant platforms to increase the intensity of handling. A group of malicious rumor-mongering and "human flesh" cyberbullying accounts were shut down, and another batch of accounts spreading rumors were banned for 7-30 days. This move has been appreciated and supported by the majority of netizens.
The spread of such rumors and information has disrupted the Internet**, seriously misled the people, caused distress to the lives of people related to the surname Yu or Tao, and caused a bad social impact. Similar to the previous "Sister Blood" incident in Shanghai, the report of ** has also received widespread attention and discussion. Many ** reporters have created a lot of doubts and speculations in their reports, writing press releases by staring at the hot lists and hot searches on public platforms, and even some ** reporters have fabricated false information to cater to bad emotions and create contradictions and confrontations. This kind of behavior seriously undermines the value and mission of the profession of journalists.
The Cyberspace Administration of Shanghai's action should be part of Shanghai's special campaign to "rectify cyber violence". It is necessary to deal with the accounts that spread rumors, and they should be held legally responsible to serve as a deterrent. If illegal activities such as rumor-mongering, personal attacks, and online violence on the Internet are not cracked down on in a timely manner, they will inevitably allow a miasma of smoke to spread, and creating a clean cyberspace is just an empty word.
Everyone is responsible for maintaining the order of online communication. In addition to punishing those who create rumors and banning accounts, it is more important to strengthen education, guidance and publicity. Only by vigorously promoting the correct dissemination of information and cultivating good network literacy can we truly maintain network order and create a clean cyberspace.
Finally, it is hoped that more internet information departments will cooperate with the platform to severely crack down on rumor-mongers and investigate their legal responsibilities, so as to serve as a deterrent to others. Only in this way can we truly purify the network environment and allow people to enjoy a clean online world.
