The Chinese social media platform has recently appeared discussions on the "Dutch Bank Incident". Some netizens wrote that "Battle" (struggle) appeared at the door of the Dutch bank, and some people said that "the Savings of the Dutch bank cannot be taken out"; at first glanceI thought it was the Henan storage incident. It was discovered that it was discovered that the netizens used the "Netherlands" to discuss the Henan incident in order to avoid the blocking of the platform.
I was sent to Beijing before I was stationed in Beijing. Several Chinese friends warned me that do not use sensitive words directly on any online communication or social platform. This principle has long been integrated.To understand the posts on the Internet, we must master a few rules: sensitive words may be replaced by harmonious, abrupt English translations, and Chinese pinyin abbreviations.For example, after a random cutting incident in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital on July 9, some netizens called "sharp progress" as their reputation; the domestic safety defense of the police responsible for maintaining stability ("national security") was called "national treasure" and the government was calledFor "ZF".
However, this phenomenon has become the key strike target of China's online platform.On the evening of July 12, Bilibili issued an initiative on regulating the use of Chinese characters, calling on users to "consciously abide by the norms of Chinese characters, resist poor fonts, wrong glyphs and other irregular Chinese characters."
Weibo announced on the 13th that the illegal behavior of "typo" publishing and disseminating bad information on the site of the use of homophonic characters, variant characters, etc.Clean up; improve the platform language management mechanism and improve keyword recognition models; and guide the use of Chinese characters in the station through the establishment of a positive incentive mechanism and strengthening the publicity in the station.
On the same day, some netizens appealed when they were blocked during the live broadcast of Douyin.The netizen said that the words such as "spike", "making money", "live broadcast" and "cause of epidemic" and other words in Douyin live broadcast can only be said to be "seconds", "earning rice", "啵啵 该", "Reason for masks".
Douyin subsequently criticized the accusation of the netizen "there is a lot of unrealistic information", but it shows that "the epidemic needs to be regulated and cannot be sympathetic and sell miserable", and emphasize that the expression of variants and homophonic expressions belongs to the Internet black."Platforms are not advocated."
The language rectification news of the online platform has set off the condemnation of netizens, and the discussion of the continuous shrinking of public opinion in China is therefore re -ignited; related entries have read more than 739,000 times on the 13th.Some netizens have supported platform measures, and believe that the typical words and weird words popular on the Internet may affect the language level of the younger generation, or it may be used for improper network marketing and online bullying, and must be remedied.
But for many netizens, this is not language management, but public opinion control.Some netizens pointed out that the platform has been reviewed by strictly that the netizens use a large number of typos; some netizens sarcastically said: "We are free to speak, and you cannot say two points."
Over the past two years, China has significantly increased its control over network space.In May 2020, the China National Network Information Office announced the official launch of the special "clear" special operations to centrally clean up various types of illegal and bad information on the Internet.In March of this year, the National Network Information Office listed ten key tasks such as chaotic phenomena in the field of webcasting and short video, cracking down on traffic fraud, black public relations, and network water forces.
In April of this year, Weibo also announced that it was forced to display geographical information when the user released the content to "prevent bad behaviors such as the parties to pretending to be hot, and the dissemination of false information."
This is not the first time that the network platform has tightened the control, but this time the rectification operation for typo is launched at the frequent time in public opinion incidents, which has caused a large rebound of netizens.
China's grass -roots governance has faced the dilemma of "no trouble, soft"; entering the Internet era, online platforms have become an important channel for the people to "make trouble."The use of wrong words has exchanged more space for netizens to give them the opportunity to vent their emotions to social incidents. It is also an effective way for some people to pressure the government and require accountability.
Since the beginning of this year, as the overall uneasiness of society has increased sharply under the epidemic and economic pressure, the role of the Internet in major social events has become more obvious.Disputes on Xuzhou Iron Chain Girls, Shanghai Epidemium, Tangshan Barbecue Store, and Henan Village Banking Incidents are all fermented into large -scale online public events through the network platform, and even rose to local and national political levels.
From the perspective of language management and avoiding criminals to avoid monitoring, it is reasonable to rectify typo, but how to ensure that the public still has channels while the regulatory network, which is also a key question that regulators must answerOtherwise, online public opinion will only be distorted under regulatory pressure.
Compared with the occasional public opinion incident, hidden and suppressed people's dissatisfaction is a more uncontrollable risk for governors.When boiling water at high temperature, you must open a gap to avoid "fried pots". When high -pressure control public opinion, it is also necessary to leave a window for the people.
