On April 26, WeChat officially announced that regular messages can be withdrawn within 2 minutes, and documents sent by WeChat can be withdrawn within 3 hours. How will this change affect us?
On April 26, WeChat officially released a video response, saying that regular messages can be withdrawn within 2 minutes, such as text, voice, emojis, pictures, etc., and documents can be withdrawn within 3 hours, such as word and excel. As soon as this news came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Some netizens left a message: This is quite humane, and some files are withdrawn after being downloaded by the other party, which is also safer. It's a good thing to be able to withdraw, but it's been three hours, and I've finished watching it.
In this regard, Cai Wei, a lawyer at Hubei Chisheng Law Firm, said that although the receiver is likely to have read the document, the withdrawal of this move also clearly indicates that the sender is unwilling to disclose it. So after sending it out, it means that the party who sent it is unwilling to make it public, so in this case, if the other party sees it in the process, it is not a mistake to see it, because after all, the other party has sent it, but after the other party takes it back, then there is more or less a civil, confidential obligation for him to issue the document itself, and it should not be further disseminated or publicized, or in other ways to let more people know the content of the document, such an obligation to be responsible.
Shang Chongsheng, a professor of sociology at Wuhan University, said that the delay in the withdrawal of WeChat messages and documents mainly takes into account the feelings of the wrong sender and respects the sender's right to regret. In particular, the content that causes social instability or causes family disharmony, such as some private documents, was originally intended to be sent to friends, but the result was sent wrong, and it cannot be withdrawn. Respect everyone's right to regret after sending WeChat by mistake, so that everyone's right to regret has expanded.
