Not only did the platform have no contact with its clients, but there was little mechanism to review the content of the brush. “i don't even know machi, and the content of this tweet is not very clear.” as chen yai, the operator of the platform, said during the trial, “this type of order is to take hundreds of thousands of orders a year and cannot be seen at all. The orders on the website are checked on a daily basis, and the tweets are written on political, yellow, violence-related, and the authenticity of the rest is difficult to verify.”
Machi also stated that he had not examined the authenticity of the tweets and that when he realized that they were false information, he could no longer prevent big v and internet users from forwarding comments。
Users make a dime on a platform
A survey of daily news reporters in xinhua found that there was a large number of illegal web platforms behind the case, creating a black and black chain of hundreds of billions of dollars. A 100-degree search of the “platform of praise” shows 24 million links, with high traffic on all major web platforms. There are three types of operations:
The first is to collect idle user traffic using the web-profit type app. For example, in apps, such as the “face for hand maker” where a user is required to perform a rephrasing exercise, it is possible to obtain a credit, complete a swipe and earn a difference。
“this operation is low-threshold and quick to make money, `and can make money at home', and thus attracts a lot of time-consuming users.” according to yukio gu, participants write their comments according to the “playbook” set provided by the platform, and then a screenshot is sent to the so-called “teacher” for a review, and those who do not meet the requirements are rewritten. Some of the products have been well received and rated by many from these platforms。
The second is a mass rating using technical simulations of manual operations, with group control software being more common. In september 2020, shenzhen city intermediate people's court considered a group control software specifically designed for the flow of micro-credit platformsUndue competitionIn the case of the dispute, the bulk operation of the group control software was carried out mainly through computer control of real mobile phones, and a micro-cell control software was used for the simultaneous group control of 120 micro-intelligence accounts online for praise and comment purposes, which resulted in the collection of marketing promotion fees for businesses, often through commercial advertisements, public articles, etc。
“in recent years, the form of brush flow has been continuously refurbished, from early artificial brushes to machine brushes, and a single form has been transformed into an integrated form.” professor wan yong, law school, people's university of china。
The third is a web-based “explosion”, which attracts attention from fans. "the fans are kings, they buy cars, they buy houses, and they only get money if they don't stop adding powder, powder, powder, and true love." in november 2020, the guangzhou police responded to one of the “assistings”Cyberwater“the gang carried out an operation to collect the internet, which was seen everywhere in the group's nest。
According to the cpp, since april 2020 the group in question has operated under the name of “a certain cultural communications company in guangzhou”, in order to “smoking” and thus earn the cost of “flowers” advertising, using their own media to create a web “explosion” and to publish a large number of rumours and disturbing public order。
“the internet economy, traffic is king. These shell companies `foster' are designed to generate traffic and charge advertising fees. Every time a user hits, the company earns a dime. But most of what they publish is a sensational and false message。
"small business" hides "great risk"
According to the interviewees, the creation of a black-and-white chain of false flows, the manipulation of public opinion interests, etc., is highly susceptible to transformation into an unlawful tool that undermines the ecology of the internet and disrupts the socio-economic order, triggering many social risks。
Journalists see on a “community self-help stand-alone platform” that “twisted double-clicks one hundred dollars” and that users simply need to choose the platform, the amount of attention they need to reach, and then fill out their links on the platform. Journalists have chosen 2. 88 to double-click 50 short videos, and “a community self-help stand-alone platform” pops up: short videos need to be generated 20 minutes after their release to avoid regulation. Three minutes later, journalists saw that the short video had been praised by more than 50 strange accounts。
“if, on that day, all short video mid-points of the platform are ranked among the top 10, it is likely that they will be pushed onto the heat search list and exposure will increase geometrically. There is no need for manipulation and social attention.” according to the head of the operations of a media company in guangzhou。
In recent days, the shanghai mayor's people's court of ning district has rendered a judgement in a case concerning the provision of procedures for the intrusion of computer information systems for illegal control. The accused yao has developed a “live theorem” which may add to the traffic between the commercials of an electric platform. The software is “outboarded” by the merchants, and there's zombie powder that interacts enthusiastically with the anchor, creating a false scene where people who don't know the truth can buy it。
Moreover, in recent years, several cases of internet-related unfair competition have been heard by courts in shanghai, guangzhou and shenzhen, indicating that several major internet companies have been deeply disturbed and have brought lawsuits against crowd-controlled software companies that create false flows。
Justice zhong xiaoqie of the shenzhen chamber of intellectual property court, which heard the case of ting vs. Cluster control software, said that the crowd control software was unjustifiably diverting the attention of users, undermining a level playing field market order and disrupting society's judgement about the economy of internet traffic。
According to zhong xiaoqie, some real users offered account numbers to be used by the billing group to earn money, and some outlaws left “backdoors” in user accounts in order to “manage” subsequent user accounts. As a result, software developers are able to steal the privacy of users ' personal information, friends ' information, etc., and may also cause fraud, causing significant privacy disclosures and cyber-security incidents。
Rule of law, pluralismGovernanceInternet black and gray
Manning believes that, at the legal level, there is a false flow of networksBlack ash industryDepending on the facts and the nature of the act, the chain may violate a number of legal provisions, notably anti-improper competition law, electronic commerce law, etc. In addition, if a breach of a computer information system is committed in order to obtain a false flow, it may fall under article 286 of the criminal code as a “crime against a computer information system”。
However, there are still many practical difficulties in combating the false flow chain. According to the professor of the university of guangzhou law school, the law covering the relevant areas is fragmented, especially in the area of criminal law, and there is some controversy about the determination of the relevant acts. It also indicated that investigations and evidence were difficult to prove at the counter-terrorism level, owing to the growing number of internet black and grey industries renting cloud servers outside their borders or using foreign mobile phone numbers or even employing persons from outside their territories to commit related offences。
The head of the relevant internet platform indicated that, despite the ongoing fight against “passage control” and the resulting false flow, the cluster control system was also being updated in confrontation. The current state-of-the-art group control system is characterized by the behaviour of the simulators, which is irregular, non-quantifiable and irregular, and which poses some difficulties for control。
Legal practitioners recommended a multi-pronged approach at the legislative, executive, judicial and social governance levels to combat the living space of the black and grey-flowing industry and to further enhance the rule of law in the black and grey-producing web of governance. In response to new difficulties in judicial practice, he said that the system of legal governance had been improved through the issuance of guidance cases, the timely issuance of relevant judicial interpretations and the revision of laws. ♪ ha-ha-ha-ha ♪
