This is Wang Xin's first public appearance since his release from prison.
After three years in prison, Wang Xin, born in 1980, is 38 years old, and it is still a good age to continue her career.
On the rivers and lakes of Internet development, fast broadcasting is a memory that cannot be erased.
Wang Xin was born in 1980, graduated from Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, started a business in 1999, and once joined Shanda to do the research and development of "Shanda Box", in 2007, the 27-year-old Wang Xin founded Fast Broadcasting.
Fast broadcast is the playback of technical software, not video content platform, at that time the development of the video website industry is still in the early stages, copyright awareness and so on has not yet been fully established as industry rules, although fast broadcast in 2011 has accumulated hundreds of millions of users, but involving pornography, copyright infringement and other disputes have been accompanied by the development of fast broadcast.
The turning point of Kuaibo occurred in November 2013, when the Cultural Committee of Haidian District of Beijing seized four servers hosted by Kuaibo in Beijing Wanglian Guangtong Technology Co., Ltd., and the identification of documents extracted from the above three servers showed that some of the videos were found to be obscene videos.
Wang Xin, whose name on Weibo is "Fast Broadcast Wang Blacksmith", often shared his thoughts and life dynamics on products and industries in 2013, and the last Weibo was on April 18, 2014, "Ah! What a painful realization, you were all I was, but I looked back on every step of the road, and I walked so lonely. Wang Xin said.
In April 2014, according to public reports, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Department opened an investigation into the case of Shenzhen Kuaibo Company's online dissemination of obscene and pornographic information, and arrested several criminal suspects. Wang Xin did not appear in this arrest, but began a 110-day life of staying abroad. In May 2014, Kuaibo Technology was revoked its value-added telecommunications business license, and the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau issued a fine of 260 million yuan to Kuaibo, and the operation of Kuaibo Company was completely suspended.
In August 2014, the National Office of "Eliminating Pornography and Cracking Down on Illegal Activities" released the news that Wang Xin, the main suspect in the case of Shenzhen Kuaibo Technology Co., Ltd.' online dissemination of obscene and pornographic information, and the legal person and general manager of Kuaibo Company, was arrested and arrested after 110 days of fleeing abroad, and handed over to the Chinese police by relevant countries through international judicial cooperation channels. On February 6, 2015, according to the official microblog of the People's Procuratorate of Haidian District of Beijing Municipality, Wang Xin, Wu Ming, and others, former CEOs of Shenzhen Kuaibo Technology Co., Ltd., had been prosecuted by the Haidian District People's Procuratorate for suspected crimes of spreading obscene materials for profit.
In January 2016, the Haidian court tried the Kuaibo case, and during the trial, Wang Xin shouted out the view of technical innocence. This sentence caused an uproar, on the one hand, it has become a classic in the hearts of many technical geeks, and on the other hand, it has been criticized by some mainstream voices. On September 9, 2016, the kuaibo case was tried again, and Wang Xin, Zhang Kedong, and Niu Wenju all pleaded guilty and repented.
On September 13, 2016, the Haidian District Court of Beijing Municipality publicly pronounced a verdict on the case of defendants Shenzhen Kuaibo Technology Co., Ltd., defendants Wang Xin, Wu Ming, Zhang Kedong, and Niu Wenju, who were suspected of spreading obscene materials for profit. CEO Wang Xin was sentenced to three years and six months in prison, and Fast Broadcasting was fined 10 million yuan.
After the first-instance judgment was pronounced, Wu Ming appealed. On December 15, 2016, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court rejected the appeal and upheld the original judgment.
From being arrested and arrested on August 8, 2014 to being released from prison on February 7, 2018, Wang Xin was absent for 3 and a half years in this era of rapid development, jianghu is no longer the grassy era when Kuaibo grew barbarically, video websites have gradually become the world of Tencent, iQiyi and Youku, and the genuine content platform that Kuaibo tried to transform in 2014 has been practiced by these three giants.
