On April 28, Weibo administrator announced that in order to further protect user rights and interests and improve user experience, Weibo will upgrade the user's "IP territory" function on April 28. From now on, the platform will fully open comment to display the small tail function of the IP territory of the evaluation, and launch the function of "personal homepage level page display IP territory".
The IP territory function is forced on, and the user cannot actively turn it off. Weibo will determine the region you belong to based on the IP territory you have recently posted, commented on and voted, and domestic users will be displayed to the province/region, and foreign users will be displayed to the country. Weibo said that the platform only displays the user's corresponding IP location, analyzes according to the operator's IP information, and does not obtain other information, so there is no need to worry too much about personal privacy leakage.
From the official display of the schematic map, you can see that your IP territory will be displayed directly on the personal homepage, click on everyone's Weibo homepage, you can see where he is now, whether it is domestic or foreign. In addition, the small tail below the Weibo comment content, no longer show the mobile phone model, all changed to IP territory, after the digital enthusiasts can not see what brand of mobile phone users you are, the digital circle may be less lively.
In fact, in addition to Weibo, today's headlines, Douyin, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu and other platforms have also been online to display the "IP territory" function, users will show your IP territory when sending content or commenting. Many people think that this function will leak the user's location information, but to be honest, the IP territory is only displayed to the province, not accurate to which room in the community, not to mention the leakage of personal location information.
This function is mainly to avoid some people deliberately impersonating the parties to the incident, and then carrying out malicious rumors, rubbing heat and other bad behaviors, as far as possible to ensure the authenticity and transparency of online content. Now that the Internet is too developed, there are more and more keyboard players and uneasy elements on the Internet, and some people think that the platform cannot track and locate them, so they spread rumors on the Internet, rub heat or spread improper content, undermine the security of the Network, and also cause panic among the people.
Some time ago, the international situation was turbulent, the contradictions between Russia and Ukraine intensified, and some keyboard heroes claimed that they were abroad, and then published various rumors or videos to mislead netizens, and they would also take rhythm in the comment area. Nowadays, the IP territorial function is online, and whether these people are really abroad is clear, and they no longer give these uneasy elements any opportunity to exploit loopholes to do things.
An interesting point is that after the comment area shows the IP territory, many netizens suddenly find a lot of fellow villagers, and the comment area becomes a scene of recognition, which is instantly happy and harmonious. I hope that with this function, the Internet platform will be friendly and jointly create a healthy and beautiful network environment.
