If you like to watch international news, or are interested in the Russian-Ukrainian war, it is estimated that the most frequently visited online community in the near future is Weibo, as the largest instant information community in China, once there is any hot news that the whole people pay attention to, Weibo can always usher in a traffic surge.
First the Winter Olympics, and then the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian War, Weibo is really winning the hemp, the attention is still high at the same time, but also attracted the attention of many foreign netizens, institutions and organizations, and even some netizens laughed: "Weibo is about to become China's Twitter."
Weibo does have the flavor of an international platform, although the main users are still Chinese netizens, but many embassies, organizations, institutions have their own accounts on Weibo, some foreign celebrities, politicians also have their own personal authentication Weibo numbers, and occasionally interact with netizens (of course, most of them are responsible for specialized personnel).
After the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Ukrainian Embassy's Weibo also posted an article calling on netizens to support Ukraine, and then sprayed by netizens to break the defense and close the comment area, given that the Ukrainian government had earlier confiscated billions of dollars in assets of Chinese enterprises, it is normal for Chinese netizens to have such an attitude.
As Weibo gradually became the position of public opinion, some external forces also targeted this platform and began to pretend to be Chinese netizens to stir up dissension in it, causing contradictions between different groups, especially during the Russo-Ukrainian War. For example, some time ago, under the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war on Weibo, there were many "reflection monsters" (the Russo-Ukrainian war required Chinese reflection), and at the same time, many people pretended to spread false information in Ukraine and Russia, confusing the public.
Therefore, netizens who have been tormented by fake news have left messages under the Weibo CEO's Weibo, saying that they hope that Weibo can control these untrue remarks, and some netizens hope that Weibo can mark the geographical location of the person who started the post, so that netizens can easily identify whether it is Chinese posting or overseas personnel posting.
I thought it was just another petition without the following, but I unexpectedly got a reply from the CEO of Weibo: "You can go on at any time, I feel that this week should be approved." Immediately on Weibo launched a geographical identification function, in the Russian-Ukrainian related topics to reply, post users will be marked with posting locations, although only accurate to the province, but also played a lot of role.
Weibo turns on the network positioning function
Judging from the official announcement of Weibo, in view of the severe situation in Russia and Ukraine, Weibo found that there were very few impersonations of people in Ukraine to publish false statements when checking relevant bad information, in order to better maintain a good communication order, it was decided to go online in the near future to show the function of posting blogs and commenting on official geographical locations for specific users.
At present, this function is only disclosed as a region for specific content during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, so as to more transparently present the real situation to a wide range of users. And the function is currently only enabled when necessary, and only for some users to open, the function can not be actively turned on or off for the time being, and according to the latest news is Weibo will be online User's recent posting location of the publicity function, instead of the positioning information next to the message.
Under the "surprise attack" of Weibo, it did make many "special people outside the country" miss the horse's feet, for example, under a related Weibo, a netizen with the ID named "Flower Grower - Patriotic Rabbit" (from the animation "That Year's Rabbit Those Things", the animation refers to China with the image of a rabbit), indignantly said that the war between Russia and Ukraine was provoked by "Putin (Putin)", meaning that this is an unjust war.
Interestingly, the positioning function next to the ID indicates that the speech is from Hong Kong, China, and then it has been ridiculed by many netizens as "Hong Kong netizens", right? Considering that Hong Kong mainly uses traditional characters, but the user deliberately uses simplified characters, it is difficult not to wonder whether he is deliberately concealing his identity.
Another Weibo user with the ID "Spiritual Finn" bluntly said: "Russia's aggression is shameful!" Ukraine come on!! ", and the positioning shows that it is from Taiwan. Although Chinese the Internet is not unable to tolerate these different voices, when similar users pretend to be mainland netizens and ask everyone to reflect on this and guide public opinion, the taste changes.
During the period when the russian-Ukrainian conflict was most intensely discussed, the orientation of online public opinion also changed many times, and for a period of time, a large number of netizens spoke and reflected on Weibo, forums and other places, from reflecting on the war to reflecting on Russia's aggression, and asking Chinese netizens to reflect on supporting Russia's behavior.
In the face of the sudden "reflection" demand, many netizens also quickly returned to the taste after a short period of confusion, so some netizens quickly made a "reflection coupon", and joked that buying ten pieces of nine discounts, a "reflection coupon" can offset the "reflection" of a day.
However, as the popularity of Russian-Ukrainian topics gradually decreases, Weibo seems to have quietly closed the address positioning function, and it is still unknown whether the follow-up will be normalized. Although this is a good function, but want to disguise the IP address is actually not difficult, only need to use some proxy servers to replace the address location to a certain province, so if you want to rely on this function to find out the hidden foreign forces, there is still a lot of difficulty.
Of course, today's infiltration of foreign forces has obviously matured, and ordinary netizens are often difficult to distinguish between them and ordinary netizens, but in the early stage of infiltration, they have made a lot of jokes.
Hello, I am a northern netizen
If you often visit Tieba and forums, then I am afraid that you will feel familiar with the "Hello, I am a northern netizen" meme, which originated from a user of Weibo.
The Weibo user ended with the headline "Hello, I'm from northern China. At the beginning, he said that he recently saw many people on Weibo who were indignant about things in a certain southern region, and wanted to go out on expeditions, etc., and then hoped that everyone could put aside their hatred and mutual understanding of each other, and finally threw out a few questions to ask Weibo netizens, as for the content of the question, it was nothing more than "how is this country, the body is asked" and other clichéd questions.
If it was Chinese the Internet ten years ago, the Weibo user's speech may really be able to attract the approval and reflection of many people, but in recent years, the new generation of netizens who have gradually become familiar with the Internet are not cold to it, and soon found loopholes in each other's remarks.
Generally speaking, as Chinese speaking on the Chinese Internet, you don't deliberately emphasize your "Chinese" identity, because this is something that everyone defaults to, just as you don't emphasize that you are From Guangdong and Jiangsu, China when you introduce yourself in your daily communication.
So who would deliberately emphasize their "Chinese" identity? In addition to overseas Chinese compatriots living overseas, perhaps there are only some hostile forces like forging identities to blend into the Chinese network community, and they subconsciously want to increase the recognition of netizens themselves, so they will emphasize their identity.
After netizens realized that this "northern netizen" was wrong, someone quickly tried to ask the other party: "Palace jade liquor?" "Northern netizens" replied: "I don't understand what you say, I am older." The result was completely exposed, and was even forwarded by the "Police-Civilian Express - Shanghai" to remind netizens to pay attention to special people abroad who pretended to be domestic netizens.
Perhaps readers in the south do not quite understand what "palace jade liquor" is, in fact, this is a dialogue in a classic sketch, the full text is "palace jade liquor, one hundred and eight cups", because the sketch is too classic so that the TV station will replay it almost every year, for the northerners with a rich sketch culture atmosphere is to hear a sketch with a cocoon in the ears, and netizens in the northeast said: "As long as it is a northerner, whether there is a TV at home, you must know this sentence."
Although it is not excluded that there are really children or teenagers who have not heard of it, but a northerner who knows how to surf the Internet and calls himself "older" must know, so netizens directly conclude that the other party is not really a northern netizen, and even some netizens complain: "Claiming to be a southern netizen may not be so fast to reveal the stuffing." The subsequent development also fulfilled the speculation of netizens, and the "northern netizen" quickly disappeared and no longer replied to any netizens' messages.
Because the process of exposure is really unexpected, so that keywords such as "northern netizens" and "palace jade liquor" have quickly become internet hot stems, when some netizens make strange remarks, there will be netizens below them to leave a message asking "Northern Chinese netizens?" ”
Some netizens even wrote a Chinese Internet code exam emoji based on this:
How many questions can readers and friends answer about the above memes? For readers who often go online, it should not be difficult to answer all of them, even if they do not often visit the post bar and forum, it is estimated that they can answer some. At least for the native netizens of the Chinese Internet, these are all familiar Internet hot terriers, some of which have even been popular for a long time, and will be flipped out from time to time.
With the development of the Internet, it has now become an important channel for us to understand the world and discuss the world, which provides us with a convenient and fast place for discussion and at the same time provides a channel for some foreign forces to influence social opinion. In the annual anti-espionage propaganda day, there are basically many cases of hostile elements publishing false and false public opinion through the Internet, hoping to guide the public opinion and thoughts of ordinary netizens to achieve their own goals.
Even if we use some network means, it is difficult for us to find out some of them disguised netizens, and it may also affect ordinary netizens who only hold different views, if it causes the network to become a state of "one word hall", I think it is also what most netizens do not want to see.
How to solve the problem of the infiltration of online public opinion can only be solved by the self-discipline and standardization of netizens and relevant online communities. At least this session of netizens in the face of similar "fixed body question, how is this country" induced thinking, will have a reasonable rebuttal, and ridicule the other party is not living in the Internet ten years ago, but there are also reports that foreign forces have begun to turn to provoke the direction of netizen contradictions, such as male and female antagonism, so it seems that anti-infiltration work is still a long way to go.
