Previously, a blogger with tens of millions of fans posted a video saying that he picked up two winter vacation homework for domestic first-year students in Paris, France, and shouted "Qin Lang, Class 8 of the first grade". After the video was released, related topics quickly appeared on the hot search. During this period, there was also a man who called himself "Uncle Qin Lang" to start a live broadcast, which attracted a large number of netizens to watch, and it was later confirmed that "Uncle Qin Lang" was posing for photos with popularity.
"Ping An West Lake" issued a notice on the 12th:
Recently, the public security organs discovered and received reports from netizens in their work that a self-media account posted a video on the Internet of "picking up the lost homework book of primary school student Qin Lang in Paris, France", which is suspected of spreading Internet rumors. The public security organs carried out investigations in accordance with the law.
After investigation, in order to attract fans and drain traffic, netizen Xu Moumou (female, 29 years old, online name "Thurman Cat Cup") and his colleague Xue Moumou (male, 30 years old) jointly planned and fabricated a series of video scripts of "Finding the Lost Homework Book of Elementary School Student Qin Lang", and then purchased the winter vacation homework book online, took selfies with mobile phones, made relevant videos, and spread them to multiple online platforms, causing a bad impact. At present, the public security organs have imposed administrative penalties on Xu, Xue and their companies in accordance with the law.
The police reminded that the Internet is not a place outside the law, and the public security organs will resolutely crack down on illegal and criminal acts that maliciously hype, fabricate, and spread online rumors or false information and disrupt public order. I hope that the majority of netizens will keep their eyes open, think rationally, do not spread rumors, do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors, and jointly build a clear online home.
On the 12th, the blogger involved @Thurman a cup of cats and sent a video to apologize.
