Think a little more, be a little more rational! Don't "hurt people by pressing the key"!
At present, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) is carrying out a one-month nationwide special action to "clean up and rectify online violence", focusing on seven prominent problems, including "online toilets", "opening boxes and hanging people", malicious slander by taking advantage of social hot incidents, rumor-mongering attacks to stigmatize specific groups, and inciting regional confrontation. As soon as the action was launched, netizens applauded.
The world has suffered from "network anger" for a long time.
With the increasing popularity of the Internet, "money is spent online, things are done online" has become a reality. The highly developed Internet has profoundly changed our lives, and the distant world has become a "global village" within reach.
According to statistics, Chinese netizens now spend an average of 26.7 hours a week online. The rapid expansion of the number of people using the Internet has also made cyberspace increasingly complex.
If you "surf" the Internet a lot, you will find that in this anonymous online world, some people are getting more and more fierce and angry, and some people are complaining more and more, and if you don't pay attention, you are likely to be "malicious" attacked for no reason.
Cyberspace is becoming more and more hostile, people's courage is multiplied, people's dissatisfaction is vented exponentially, and there are always some "discordant" bad words, and this kind of "harm" is often manifested as: malicious slander, rumors and slander, doxing, abusive attacks, etc.
Internet anger is an extreme paranoid, irrational incitement of antagonism. The malice and anger in the Internet not only have no pity and empathy for the pain and plight of others, but also gain a sense of self-righteous existence and superiority through wanton judgment, turning public attention from the event itself to irrational accusations and abuse.
A sentence may set off a scolding war, a picture may trigger a public opinion showdown, and each of us may be guided to the same public opinion field by the network line, actively or passively participating in the "network battle". The more people who have a bad life in real life, the heavier the anger on the Internet, and the easier it is to become a "troll" in popular comments.
At a superficial level, all kinds of anger on the Internet are just the surface, it is a projection of social emotions, and at a deeper level, the root cause is that netizens are full of impetuousness and irrationality in the real world, as well as their rejection of society.

In order to solve this complex problem, it is necessary for the whole society to work together and take comprehensive measures to achieve results.
Improve the ability of network governance and pipe network. From the perspective of the government, it is necessary to enhance the guiding force of public opinion through reform and innovation, seek the "greatest common divisor" through interactive exchanges, turn the Internet, the "biggest variable" in the social transition period, into a knowable, controllable and negotiable "constant", and turn it into a new platform for governance, improve the ability to govern the Internet, and jointly create a good public opinion atmosphere for reform and development.
Strengthen the supervision of online platforms. As the main battlefield for the breeding of online violence, all major online platforms have the responsibility to strengthen the supervision and management of cyberspace and user speech, especially to strictly manage the comment area, rectify the problems in the live broadcast PK link, and focus on investigating and dealing with acts such as fighting bravely, tearing each other apart, and spitting dirty, and taking unified measures against all accounts for the vulgar behavior of some anchors who evade supervision and use small accounts to carry out, and those with heinous circumstances will be included in the blacklist, resolutely curbing the breeding and spread of online anger.
Advocate netizens to be sober and self-disciplined. On the web, information is overflowing and complex, and it is easy to be influenced by various statements and opinions. Netizens should maintain rational thinking, not blindly follow or be gullible, enhance information literacy and media literacy, improve their ability to obtain and analyze information, learn to screen the authenticity and value of information, and think more and be more rational when commenting on the Internet, so as to avoid blindly following trends and misunderstandings.

To protect the home of the Internet, it is necessary not only to have good governance and good management, but also to start from themselves, to be sober and self-disciplined, to gather positive energy for the good of the Internet, to dispel anger with civilization, to dispel the haze with sunshine, and to make the cyberspace clearer and cleaner.
