Blue Whale TMT Channel April 29 news, this evening, Weibo released an announcement to adjust the private message function to strengthen the governance of network violence. The platform said that in order to further implement the work requirements of the Central Cyberspace Administration's "Qinglang • Network Violence Special Governance Action" and strengthen the governance of speech attacks and Internet violence, in the near future, the platform will gradually upgrade the "private messages of uncontrolled people" products, and users can actively choose whether to receive private messages from uncontrolled people.
First of all, Weibo adjusted the rules for receiving private messages: when receiving private messages sent by people who have not been followed, only 1 private message reminder is displayed, and after confirming the receipt, the user can view the content of the private message and have a normal text conversation. (A single confirmation is valid for 24 hours, if the user does not reply, you need to confirm the receipt again to view the new message.) ）
Second, Weibo has improved the mechanism for identifying, blocking, blocking and complaining about negative information. In view of the identification and interception model of negative information such as Internet violence, the function of private message complaints of uncontrolled people is upgraded, and the classification of unkind and Internet violence complaints is added. Once such a complaint is judged valid, the sender credit points will be deducted. After the sender's credit score is lower than a certain score or after being complained about by more than one person, its private message function is restricted.
Weibo said that the follow-up platform will continue to optimize the functions of private message products, while ensuring smooth communication between users, strengthen the protection mechanism for users receiving private messages, and create a healthy and friendly network communication environment.
