Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, Nov. 8, CTOnews.com learned from the official account of "Netletter China" Wechat that recently, a joint platform for refuting rumors on the Internet in China combed and analyzed online rumors in October. In that month, online data monitoring and netizens' reports showed that rumors were more prominent, such as conjecturing policies on people's livelihood, making use of AI fictional cases, and making use of social hot spots to spread rumors. Some rumors were of a bad nature, disturbing social order and causing adverse effects, and relevant accounts had been dealt with in accordance with the law.

Fabricate rumors about people's livelihood policies to mislead the public. In October, some self-media took advantage of netizens' concerns about social security, medical care and other livelihood topics to fabricate false information related to public policies and social livelihood, swindling traffic and damaging social trust, resulting in a negative impact. For example, fake authorities release false news such as "2024 Medical Insurance payment New Policy: workers' Medical Insurance contributions will no longer be credited to personal accounts" and "X Province will implement age-based retirement" to mislead the public; fabricate rumors that "people whose passport numbers begin with EL are untrustworthy persons" and associate "personal credit information" with passport numbers for no reason, creating sensation. Take advantage of the "autumn grain harvest" to spread rumors that "the grain reserves decided to stop purchasing corn" in an attempt to disrupt the market order and make a profit from it. There are also false information such as "Shanghai's successful bid to host the 2036 Summer Olympic Games" and "Su Xi Chang will set up a special economic zone", all of which were fabricated by individual netizens. Such rumors are confusing, spread quickly, and seriously interfere with social cognition and expectations.

Abuse of AI technology to spread rumors should be vigilant. Individual netizens deliberately fabricate and spread sensational news and touch the red line of the law in order to attract eyeballs and traffic. A number of so-called "explosion accidents" and vicious criminal cases were spread online in October, which were later confirmed to be online rumors. For example, using programming and AI technology to fabricate vicious rumors such as "Guangzhou Metro suffered a terrorist attack", "Campus wounding incident occurred in Jingxian County, Anhui Province, and many casualties", and fabricated false information such as "explosion occurred in the School of Pharmacy of Southwest University" and "1 death and 5 serious injuries caused by septic tank explosion in Baoding, Hebei Province" to create social panic. Under the spread effect of "three people into a tiger", if netizens do not know it and believe it easily, it will become a rumor mouthpiece, resulting in adverse social impact.

Making use of social hot spots to spread rumors and hype to interfere with audio-visual activities. In October, a 2-year-old girl in Chongzhou, Chengdu was bitten by a vicious dog and a 4-year-old girl was lost on the beach in Shanghai. Two accidents related to the personal safety of the child stung the public nerves. Before the facts were clear, there were many "brain-complementary rumors" on the Internet, such as "a 2-year-old girl was bitten before she was bitten with a stone", "the biting dog was raised by the girl herself,"the bitten girl died", "the lost girl's father is the stepfather" and other groundless speculations sprang up one after another. Many "conspiracy theories" have nothing to do with the truth, but create information confusion. Rumor mongers regard the great grief and anxiety of the families of the parties as a tool to drain and vent their anger, which not only damages the legitimate rights and interests of the parties and their families, affects the normal handling of the incident, but also hurts the simple feelings of the majority of netizens.

In the face of all kinds of network rumors, the Internet information department persisted in attacking with heavy blows, intensified the crackdown, and guided the website platform to strengthen monitoring and verification, carry out investigation and rectification. On October 24, the official Wechat account of "Internet letter China" announced that "Su Xi Chang will set up a special economic zone", "Guangzhou Metro was hit by a terrorist attack", "Shanghai successfully applied for the 2036 Summer Olympic Games", "passport number EL begins with a person who has broken promises" and other typical cases of illegal and illegal rumors, and investigated and dealt with 1781 accounts related to public policy and social livelihood, such as "real estate treasure mother", "Liju aesthetic practice", "Winter" and other rumors and rumors in the field of social livelihood. It has effectively played a warning and deterrent role.

In November, with the arrival of the "Singles Day" promotion activities of various e-commerce platforms, telecom fraud may enter a high incidence period, and the false information related to logistics and express delivery will also increase. Consumers should guard against illegal promotion routines and all kinds of telecom fraud, and also strengthen the protection of personal information to avoid information disclosure and the resulting losses. The China Internet Joint rumor refuting platform reminds netizens that in the face of numerous and complicated online information, they must be vigilant, enhance their ability to identify and prevent rumors, and at the same time actively participate in supervision and reporting, and work together to eradicate the living soil of online rumors. work together to create a clear cyberspace.
