The software provides a completely anonymous private confide community, can not talk to family and friends of the secret, can not be said in micro-blog secrets, can talk here, but also here to get help from others, real release buried in the inner oppression.

"Secret" on the first day of the line, the 13th place in the Apple App Store, free social 1th. Although the "secret" development team said it was inconvenient to disclose the "secret" to date the specific download data and user volume, but people familiar with the matter said the "secret" current user data is quite good.

The reporter learned that the "secret" from the Shenzhen team developed, following the U.S. 's most popular anonymous social app "Secret". The social software has recently become the number one hot topic for people in Silicon Valley, VCs and Media, and San Francisco is full of people browsing "Secret" in mobile phones, but "Secret" also faces criticism, pornography, drugs and so on.

So far, the "secret" development team has not made public appearances and has remained secretive. The team rejected all media interview requests and vowed to carry out the "secret".

"Secrets" that can't be said are "worth seeing."

For the "secret" hot reasons, there are insiders believe that this and human nature has to pry into the privacy of other people have a great relationship. Reporter Login "secret" after seeing, in addition to some such as "like a Girl", "What To eat Tonight" and other general content, but also a large number of people involved in privacy and personal attack content.

The reporter concludes and concludes that the contents of the "secret" are mainly divided into three parts: emotional catharsis, confession and explosive material. From the current point of view, anonymous explosive material has become the core content of the software publicity, the number of publications are also many. Friends ' family privacy, corporate colleagues, peers, leadership scandals, and industry unspoken rules ... These are the main force of the content of the material, the point of praise and comments of many people.

For example, someone in the "secret" to say "a company senior and a number of female subordinates complex", the message triggered a crowd of comments, some of them hope that the material will continue to explode the material, but also bold to say the material of the top of the name and unit positions. In addition, there are users of the explosion is similar to "XX's mobile phone business department dug YY senior executives and its core development team, the code was taken to XX by senior executives" and other industry insider.

Sometimes I can guess the real identity of the material and the details of the content, even easily. "It makes me very excited to see a lot of things I don't normally see." "A secret" a loyal user told reporters.

Questioning speech too freely involving malicious attacks

Based on the "secret" platform more and more explosive materials and involved in personal attacks and the content of both sexes, it began to be questioned by users, the biggest criticism is: the loss of real identity, the characteristics of freedom of speech is likely to make "secret" a malicious attack platform.

Browsing the "secret" news is not hard to find, filled with complaints about companies and bosses, dissatisfaction with society, or true or false gossip, including pornographic content and commentary. Even some users say that for a while, almost all of their employees have been anonymously scolding bosses in "secret". Many users have thought that this is a malicious software, "malicious information because the point of praise, more people will be seen."

In this regard, the software producers said that the problem has been noted. The development team said that in the early stage of product validation, the focus on content audits was not focused on, and the team's next focus shifted to content operations and control. In the "secret" notice also shows: if you see a personal attack, such as any objectionable secret, please report, we will be the first time to deal with.

Even insiders, including founders, cannot tell which user posted the information. ”

Lawyers are still suspected of infringement even though anonymously released

While the contents of the "secret" platform are Anonymous, the software development team also said it would control the content, but a lawyer told reporters that the software in addition to direct abuse vent dissatisfaction, there is no lack of exposure to other people's private life, distorted the image of others, exposing the industry's internal information, etc., it is likely to violate the Ministry of Public Security " Measures for the management of Internet security for computer information networks.

The method stipulates that the use of social platforms to insult or slander others, does not constitute a crime, should be the public security organs of the law to make administrative punishments. If the plot is serious, it may constitute an insult or slander.

The lawyer said that while software makers said that "even internal personnel, including the founder, could not know which user published the information," but it still has a "reasonable attention" obligation.

"When the infringer to the infringement information to delete such a reasonable request, the software operators have the responsibility to take timely measures to prevent the existence and dissemination of infringing content, otherwise, should bear the corresponding tort liability." The lawyer said.

The reporter learned that the "Secret" has strict supervision of anonymous speech, as long as two people to a secret report, the secret will be automatically shielded, in addition to the publisher, no one can see it. At the same time "Secret" also encourages users to the spirit of ownership to maintain the content order.

Predicting difficult to increase user stickiness does not go too far

For the "secret" of the future, there are insiders believe that a large number of defamation, material and negative energy, such as the "secret" of invalid information, only in a short period of time to satisfy people's curiosity and desire to pry.
