@Weibo admin released a message on the 4th:
At present, the situation in Russia and Ukraine is grim, and while the station continues to conduct in-depth investigation and handling of relevant bad information, it has found that there are very few acts of impersonating personnel in Ukraine to publish false statements. In order to maintain a good communication order in major events, the site intends to launch the real geographical location function of posting and commenting for specific users in the near future, as follows:
1. This feature is currently only displayed as a region for specific content during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict (e.g. blog posts with keywords such as "Russia", "Ukraine", "Kiev") in order to present the real situation to a wider range of users more transparently.
2. The site will weigh the user experience, only when necessary, to some users to display Weibo / comment location information (domestic display to the province / region, foreign display to the country), this function can not be actively turned on or off by the user for the time being.
3. The station will gradually launch relevant functions in the next few days according to the internal testing situation.
Attached function diagram:
1. Weibo displays real geolocation information
2. Comments show real geolocation information
Good communication order is conducive to users to obtain true and effective information for the first time, the station calls on the majority of netizens, to use a true and objective perspective to participate in the dissemination, with a positive and friendly attitude to speak rationally. The station will continue to strive to create a harmonious and friendly community environment, and also welcomes the majority of netizens to make suggestions and suggestions for community ecological governance, and jointly maintain a clear cyberspace.
