"Cotton meat pine"-style internet rumors deserve to be watched out for.

Original title: "Cotton meat pine"-style internet rumors are worth watching
Recently, filmed and disinformation "meat pine cake is made of cotton" video of two Qingdao aunts were arrested by the police! On the morning of May 22nd, Huang bought meat pine cake and other pastries at a pastry shop in Feixian Road, Qingdao, Shandong Province, to Wang's house, two people thought of the "cotton meat pine" video seen on the Internet, then cleaned the cake, recorded the video on his mobile phone, and then released it to WeChat Friends Circle, claiming that the cake sold by the shop was cotton, causing a number of people to have a consumer dispute with the pastry shop, the shop was once surrounded by the masses. The police sentenced the two men to administrative detention for five days for constited "fictitious facts and disturbing public order".
people have heard rumors such as "strawberry with puffing agent" and "citrus sweetener". Recently, new rumors such as "plastic rice" and "cotton meat pine" have spread everywhere. Although these rumors have long been verified by the authorities, but there are still people with "prefer to believe it has, not trust it has" mentality of disinformation, rumors, rumors. Like these two Qingdao aunts, the sudden association of fabricated rumors and widely spread, resulting in huge losses to businesses, public order was damaged. Therefore, in the context of the Internet, it is reasonable to abandon the traditional method of disinformation and block the path of spread of rumors with Internet thinking.
the media age, people move their fingers and look at WeChat, Weibo and circles of friends on their phones to get information. And because the title is sensational, demagogic, content has "popular significance", coupled with "good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles" dissemination law, many rumors through the self-media fission, explosive dissemination, great harm. But disinformation, discipline and claims face the embarrassment of long cycles, difficult identification, light liability and low compensation. In terms of "cotton meat pine" this matter, two aunts unfounded sudden whisy, fingers moved to create rumors, the result of the cake shop was surrounded by the public that day, the shop closed, manufacturers were affected.
it is extremely easy to smear a thing through the Internet, and does not even require scientific basis, as long as casual associations make up bad words on the line. Restoring the innocence of the smeared things and reducing public panic is even more difficult, requiring the technical identification of authoritative institutions and even expert argumentation to dispel rumors. Therefore, while respecting the public's right to know and supervision, we should also crack down on malicious disinformation. Let the rumor-monger not only bear the cost of losing personal freedom, but also compensate the business for the direct loss. If the two aunts of the "cotton meat pine" incident had been detained for only five days without civil compensation, it would have been insignificant in relation to the losses of the merchants and the panic of the masses.
in addition, we should strengthen the responsibility of the Internet platform, by which it formed a coalition to dispel rumors, the establishment of a complete monitoring, reporting, proof, disinformation, investigation and prosecution mechanism. Do early detection, early identification, early processing, timely delete rumors and cut off links, to avoid further expansion of the scope of harm. Avoid the industry or product affected by rumors by sustained, irreversible violations, so that "jumping into the Yellow River can not be washed", and eventually killed by rumors. Also to do the process of disinformation ring buckle, do not leave omissions, such as the initial confirmation of rumors and delete the relevant content, must promptly follow up the explanation, otherwise it will give people reasonable suspicion that it is the business public relations delete posts, and then the darker the more black, expand the loss.
, it is entirely necessary to establish a system of who disinformation, who disinformation and who disinformation. For the rumors verified to be true, the rumor-mongers should be required to dispel rumors through the original disinformation channels, and the rumor-mongers should be required to disinformation through the original rumor-mongering channels. If someone posts or retweets a rumor through a microblog, public number, or circle of friends, they should post or retweet apologies and disinformation content through the original microblog, public number, or circle of friends, or even publish or retweet it in many times. Only in this way can we minimize the negative impact of online rumors, so that the victim's reputation and public panic can be calmed as soon as possible. (Shi Hongzhu)
