CTOnews.com, September 22 (Xinhua)-- Wechat said in an official announcement this afternoon that the platform recently found that individual users had spread rumors about "widespread flight cancellations across the country," which misled other users and adversely affected the ecology of the platform.

CTOnews.com learned that civil aviation professionals said that the "widespread cancellation of flights across the country" circulated on the Internet has been the norm since the outbreak of COVID-19 's epidemic.

According to aviation blogger @ FATIII, due to the sharp decline in the number of passengers, many flights flying before the epidemic have not been carried out for a long time, but for reasons such as keeping time and traffic rights, the aviation department system has to repeat the action of canceling different flights every day, which also leads to "the flight cancellation rate has been on the high side."

In addition, in response to the spread of rumors of "large-scale cancellation of flights across the country", Wechat said that the platform will continue to carry out all kinds of rumor information management work, and will immediately deal with accounts that publish or spread rumors strictly as soon as they are found.

The Wechat platform has always paid close attention to the crackdown on online rumors and will crack down on illegal acts such as the creation and dissemination of rumors in strict accordance with national laws and regulations and platform norms, the announcement said. At the same time, Wechat also reminds users that in the face of complicated network information, they need to enhance their ability to distinguish between right and wrong and resist network rumors, and should not spread rumors, spread rumors, believe them or forward them.
