Who "Danced" in a Mask titled a cartoon on the 1993 New Yorker: "On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog." Although this is a slight exaggeration, it is undeniable that the Internet is indeed hidden, and you have no way of knowing who is behind each account? As this time, if it were not for the public display of the IP's home, you would never have known the original "end of the universe in Hunan".

* Image source @ Donkey Li Ling often brush Weibo friends, these eating, drinking and entertainment accounts should be no stranger. Usually they will show the beauty of the local cuisine, and many tourists will refer to the content of these bloggers when doing travel guides. However, after this exposure, these "local eating, drinking and entertainment bloggers" were originally in Hunan. Combined with the nickname and content, it is not difficult to guess that this should be the same company operating. It is not only local bloggers who have "flipped over", but also many overseas bloggers who have shown their feet.

The display of the IP location this time directly makes those scammers who pretend to live a dashing life overseas have nowhere to hide. Originally in the Internet world, overseas bloggers showed off their good life and used traffic to monetize. Fans are curious and trusting and contribute traffic and even money, and both sides take what they need from each other. Suddenly, it was discovered that the blogger himself did not live locally, which was simply a liar. Suddenly, the people who have been operating for a long time collapse in an instant!

Some "overseas bloggers" and "local bloggers" can't stand the sneering and have suspended the update, which makes people feel embarrassed and funny. From this point of view, after showing the ip ownership, the most panicked people are these people. This function is like "looking in the mirror", so that those who have bad intentions and those who maliciously deceive have appeared in their original form.

On the privacy dispute in addition to watching the major bloggers out of the foreign, many netizens have also joined the discussion, from the perspective of the words and views of both sides, it can be roughly divided into two major factions - "privacy protection faction" and "support public faction". This is an invasion of privacy first, some netizens resolutely oppose the public, for them, this is the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, "cut one city today, cut ten cities tomorrow", I don't know when privacy will be completely violated.

Some netizens do not approve of this practice, the reason is that this behavior has not been authorized by themselves.

More netizens joked that I came to the Internet to brag, not to go online to find my hometown. For this part of the netizens, the matter of public IP ownership has stepped into their forbidden areas, and they have a relatively distinct sense of boundaries and are not willing to let others know their whereabouts, even if it is a province. Contrary to this privacy, there is still a large wave of netizens supporting this, the reason being that this is an important measure to purify the network.

Many of these supporters believe that only scammers are afraid of exposure, and normal people will not worry.

In addition, there are also suggestions, support but please treat it fairly, overseas positioning is a country, why can't the domestic positioning be China, must be accurate to the province?

Is the public IP attribution really an invasion of user privacy? If interpreted in accordance with the provisions of existing laws, the answer is no. Article 1034 of the Civil Code: Personal information is recorded electronically or otherwise and can be used alone or in combination with other information to identify a specific natural person, including the natural person's name, date of birth, ID card number, address, telephone number, etc. It can be seen that IP territorial information is not personal information and is not protected by the Personal Information Law.

After the inquiry, It was found that Weibo CEO Wang Gaofei (@between) said: At present, the front-end real-name media, government agencies, enterprises, and celebrities do not show their place of origin for the time being, because they have "front-end real-name authentication", but "back-end real-name" authentication users still have to show the territory.

Dude, is this something special?

Do you support IP attribution disclosure In fact, the disclosure of IP attribution on major platforms is not without precedent. Now netizens joke that "the IP ownership is simply announced to which village I am good", Tieba really did it that year! In the early years, when the post was still hot, the address was taken by default when posting, which was not to show the province, directly located to which city and which street. It is entirely possible to find someone along the network cable, and the IP home is simply not mentioned compared to this.

However, at that time, Tieba supported the closure of this function, and now the IP ownership is forced to be public, and does not give users the permission to close. Moreover, not only open social platforms such as Weibo and Douyin, but even platforms with slightly stronger privacy such as WeChat have begun to announce IP territories.

Fortunately, at present, it is only open to the IP territory under the public account message, and it is not directly disclosed under the circle of friends, otherwise it will definitely cause the vast majority of people to oppose, after all, this will affect our May Day home play in China!

In retrospect, in the beginning, people liked the Internet because the Internet was a freer world than reality, and anyone on the Internet could put aside the shackles of real identity and express themselves to the fullest. In real life, you may be a "social fear", but on the Internet you can become a "social cow".

However, when people's lives are inseparable from the state of the Network, the virtual network is no longer virtual, but an extension of reality, fraud, abuse, extortion, and those things that will happen in real life will also be transferred to the Network. Therefore, the state has embarked on "clear action" to maintain the network ecological environment and rectify the chaos of online violence. This is also an important reason for the public IP ownership of major social platforms.

In the book "Weak Communication", it is written that more than 90% of human conflicts are not conflicts of core interests, but are caused or amplified by inappropriate communication. Displaying IP territory and strengthening the connection with the real world through location display does have a certain self-discipline effect. It can effectively avoid the behavior of impersonating the parties to rub traffic, which is also of positive significance for maintaining network order. Far from it, those who deliberately provoke and manipulate right and wrong will be discovered.

But the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, everyone is not helpless, "building a ladder" to change nationality can be seen everywhere. Since people at home can take a ladder to go out, can't people from abroad also change their nationality to come in? In this way, will the role of public IP attribution be greatly weakened?

Moreover, it is not known whether this will aggravate regional discrimination and whether the phenomenon of "regional blackness" will become more and more intense. Time is the best thing to verify everything, how will the IP home be developed in the future? It can only be decided by time. But in this fox sister would like to ask everyone, do you support the public display of IP attribution? Reference: Southern Metropolis Daily: Hot search first! WeChat to become a red star news: Weibo, WeChat, Douyin, etc. will show the user's IP territory, these Bo main "overturned"? Weibo screenshot edit: Maxine
