After Douban was launched in 2005, it has become a platform for many literary and artistic youth to pay attention to. At present, Douban has movies, reading, the same city, music and groups and other sections, of which Douban movies have a high degree of recognition in the market and are also one of the most used sections by users; the Douban group has also attracted a large number of young people to camp. By the end of 2019, Douban had more than 200 million registered users and more than 400 million monthly active users.
However, in recent years, Douban has also been controversial. Last year, the TV series "Wind Rises Luoyang" was not broadcast on time, but there were many comments on Douban, which caused widespread doubts. Subsequently, CCTV issued a report entitled "Film and Television Drama Encounters UnreadEd-Before-Review Exposing the Rules of Water Arms Control and Evaluation," pointing out that the two film and television dramas have successively appeared in the absurd scene of "advanced comments."
After being criticized by CCTV, Douban issued a response that any attempt to undermine the fairness of the score and disrupt the normal order of the platform will be held accountable through legal channels. Douban also said in response that in response to the increasingly evolved water army attacks and simulating the behavior of real users using patterns to try to raise numbers and brush scores, the algorithms, identification procedures, and strategies for judging "abnormal scoring" and "abnormal users" in the background of Douban have been updated and evolved in real time to ensure the normality of the score.
Douban, which is non-stop, has also been punished by the relevant departments many times. According to a number of media reports, from January to November 2021, the State Internet Information Office guided the Beijing Municipal Internet Information Office to impose 20 disposal penalties on Douban, and repeatedly imposed a fine of 500,000 yuan, with a total of 9 million yuan in fines.
On December 9 last year, #Douban removed from the shelves and also rushed to Weibo's hot search. According to the ministry of industry and information technology, the previous violations such as the app exceeding the scope, the frequent request for permissions, the collection of user personal information required for non-service scenarios, and the deception and misleading users to download were inspected, and the APP that did not complete the rectification as required was publicly notified. In the list of removals released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there is Douban, which belongs to Beijing Douwang Technology, and the problem involved is the collection of personal information beyond the scope.
