"Don't recommend people you might know"
This topic is on the hot search
It resonated with netizens
Nowadays, all major social apps have set up acquaintance recommendation mechanisms, and recommend users to "people they may know" through big data algorithms such as address books and associated friends. This feature has been complained by many netizens, believing that the platform has violated their privacy by reading personal information without permission, which is an offensive act.
The acquaintance recommendation mechanism has also caused many people's "social fear". Some netizens shared their experiences, "I complained about my roommate on the Internet, but the big data accurately pushed this post to Ta", "My trumpet was discovered by an acquaintance, and I came to add friends, I didn't want to add it and had to add it for the sake of face", "The posts of complaining and gossip were recommended to acquaintances, and it was simply a large-scale 'social death' scene"......
Some people even issued a "soul torture" question for this kind of "superfluous" behavior: "I know the person you pushed, but guess why we are not friends?"
Behind the rejection of the recommendation mechanism of acquaintances, contemporary young people hope to have a "pure land" that can be separated from real life. There, they don't need to work hard to maintain the "persona" created in reality, they don't need to worry about complex interpersonal relationships, they don't need to worry that their posts will cause dissatisfaction among the people around them, and they don't need to be afraid of the life photos they send being peeped and discussed by acquaintances.
On the premise of not violating public order and good customs and not harming others, young people can be themselves wantonly, and they can not let the familiar people around them see the side they don't want to be seen, and be the more real version of themselves that is different from real life.
On different social apps, it is also easier for young people to make friends who are difficult to meet in real life and have common interests and hobbies. Becoming a partner of interest to each other can be distinguished from other social relationships in life, which greatly reduces social pressure.
However, the acquaintance recommendation mechanism of social platforms has broken this boundary, allowing acquaintances in reality to "break into" their own small world, which will naturally cause everyone's dissatisfaction.
In order to keep the independent "small world" on the Internet, netizens have shown their abilities. Use "momo" as the screen name "invisible", log in without the mobile phone number you use daily, frequently change your avatar so that big data cannot be recognized, or try all kinds of ways to turn off the acquaintance recommendation mechanism......
Young people have gradually formed a "tacit understanding" between them, recognizing the sense of boundaries between people, and not taking the initiative to listen to account names outside of commonly used social platforms.
Everyone is a diverse individual, and they are often multifaceted because of their different identities, roles, hobbies, etc. There are some faces that we want to be seen by familiar people, and there are some faces that we don't want to be seen by familiar people.
With enough inclusiveness, online social platforms give young people the space to express themselves freely, and also provide them with more possibilities to realize their diverse values.
However, I also want to remind everyone that the Internet is not a place outside the law, and the "vest" of the online platform account cannot be allowed to become a tool for wanton behavior and even cyberbullying of others.
Previously we would have lamented
"The APP understands me so well, so smart"
But perhaps more people are craving it now
A platform that "doesn't understand me that well".
If the recommendation algorithm can
Recommend more "people who fit in"
Maybe it will be more than "familiar people"
More meaningful
You're on different social platforms
Are there different "personalities"?
What do you think of the acquaintance referral mechanism
Let's talk in the message area
