The secret of the "cancer prevention" scam in the live broadcast room is revealed: how to protect the health and money bags of middle-aged and elderly people
Recently, something very infuriating happened on the Internet. There is a netizen named "Roll over Huahua", her mother has lung cancer, and the family is already in great difficulty, but a big anchor sells cosmetics in the live broadcast, saying that these cosmetics can "prevent cancer", Huahua's mother believed it and bought these cosmetics with the money she saved. Think about it, when the old man is sick, how anxious he is, and he doesn't understand these scams on the Internet, he is easy to be fooled.
This anchor said in the live broadcast that his products can prevent cancer, but he has no scientific basis at all, and he has not done clinical trials to prove that his products are really effective. This is typical false propaganda and is illegal. What's more, most of the viewers in this live broadcast room are middle-aged and elderly, and many of them don't understand these things on the Internet, so they are easy to be deceived by this kind of false propaganda.
There are also problems with this live streaming platform. As a place for information dissemination, platforms should be responsible for every word the anchor says, but they fail to do it. They didn't properly review what the anchor said, so they let these false claims spread everywhere on the platform. As a result, not only the rights and interests of consumers are damaged, but also the reputation of the platform.
We can't just leave it at that. We're going to find a way to make it happen again. First of all, the platform has to strengthen supervision, and it can't be anyone's anchor and believe everything. They have to review the qualifications of the anchor to see if what they say is true and whether there is any scientific basis. In this way, false propaganda cannot be spread everywhere on the platform.
Streamers also have to have a bit of a conscience. What they say may affect many people, especially those middle-aged and elderly people who don't understand the Internet. Therefore, they have to improve their legal awareness and moral quality, and don't talk nonsense for the sake of making money.
Government departments also need to step up their supervision. We have to crack down on those anchors and platforms that do illegal things, so that they know that there is a price for doing wrong things.
We also have to warn middle-aged and elderly people to let them know that there are many scammers on the Internet. Through a number of lectures, awareness campaigns and training courses, they can be taught how to identify online fraud and false propaganda, and how to protect their rights and interests. Tell them that if they are not feeling well, they must go to the hospital and see a doctor, and don't trust the mess.
This incident is a wake-up call for us. Although the online world is convenient, there are also many scammers. We must work together to make the network environment better, so that middle-aged and elderly people can surf the Internet with peace of mind and no longer be deceived.
Specifically, we can start from the following aspects:
First, on the platform side, they should formulate stricter rules, conduct real-name authentication for anchors, and monitor their live content in real time. Once false propaganda or illegal content is discovered, it should be deleted immediately and the anchor should be punished.
Second, in terms of anchors, they should improve their quality and not talk nonsense in order to make money. They should be responsible for their words and deeds, and do not mislead the audience, especially those middle-aged and elderly people who do not understand the Internet.
Third, government departments should strengthen the supervision of the online live broadcast industry, formulate better laws and regulations, and severely crack down on illegal acts. At the same time, they should also strengthen consumer protection and establish a better complaint mechanism so that consumers can get help in a timely manner when they encounter problems.
Each of us should also be vigilant and not trust the information on the Internet. In particular, middle-aged and elderly people should pay more attention to protecting their rights and interests, and do not easily believe those propaganda that has no scientific basis.
Only by working hard can we build a safer, healthier and more harmonious online environment.
